Romans Chapter 1- continuing Paul's longing to visit Rome

15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.Prayer: Thank you Father God for your Word that is truth. Help us to share your Good News to those around us. Let our light so shine before men that they would know your truth and the truth would set them free. Lord Jesus, let us never be ashamed of the Gospel, for we know that it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. Search our hearts Lord Jesus, if there be any wicked way in us, reveal it, and then cleanse us from all un righteousness. In Jesus name, Amen.
