The Promise of the Gospel—Romans 1:2

The Promise of the Gospel—Romans 1:2

"The gospel he promised before hand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures..." (Romans 1:2)

If you look at the account of Paul's life in the Book of Acts, you'll see he was constantly defending the gospel before masses of people, Jewish leaders, the Roman government, and even before the original Apostles who learned directly from Jesus. I think this was because the gospel was so radically different than anything that had previously been taught and so the natural tendency was to question it.


Paul's eyes were opened, and he saw everything the law and the prophets promised—they promised Jesus!
 

Here's a beautiful truth: the very same gospel that Paul preached was promised throughout the entirety of the scriptures. Even today, we have a hard time understanding this, as I imagine the Apostle Paul did at first. In his own words, he admits to being faultless concerning legalistic righteousness (Phil. 3:6)—meaning he followed the letter of the law, which he knew inside and out and lived every moment making sure he was doing all that the law required. Some things don't change, for example, how many of us are like this today?

Imagine how mind-blowing it must have been to encounter Jesus and then to start piecing together everything the law and prophets talked about, which included everything Paul previously misunderstood while trying to do all that the law required. Imaging waking up to the fullness of what those things actually revealed—Jesus! This incredible revelation was so profound that Paul immediately set off for the desert of Arabia and spent three years sorting it out (Gal. 1:11-12, 17-18).

Set Apart for the Gospel—Romans 1:1

Set Apart for the Gospel—Romans 1:1

"Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God" (Romans 1:1)

There is a strange law in the Old Testament. It’s one of those easy to glance at and then forget as it is the guideline for freeing servants. At the surface level, it seems this has little impact today. Here’s the jest of the law.


If you are an indentured servant, why wouldn’t you want to leave when the time has been served?
 

If a Hebrew man or woman sold him/herself into slavery (most likely because of poverty or circumstances), the term of this agreement was six years. By law, in the seventh year, they were released. Here’s why...It served as a reminder to both parties that they were all slaves in Egypt but the Lord redeemed them (Deut. 15:15). Bottom line, He wanted them to be free.

This law also made provision for the servants. When released, they were liberally supplied from the master’s flock, threshing floor, and winepress (Deut. 15:13-14). The goal was that it was a win-win for both parties, as indentured servants were to be treated better than a hired hand.

Here’s the strange part, the law also gives instructions for when a person doesn’t want to be released. What? That’s crazy. If you are an indentured servant, why wouldn’t you want to leave when the time has been served?
