Romans: Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake

 Romans 1:1-7

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—  the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David,  and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

The apostle's whole life-mission is captured in his first few sentences. Paul, Christ's slave, and emissary, commissioned to carry God's good news to the nations, writes to his fellow Christians in Rome. His 'grace' and 'peace' blend the traditional Greek and Jewish greetings into something uniquely Christian.

Why?

Jesus Christ is the promise of the Lord said in ancient times. So Paul said Jesus who is descendant of David, but through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God.

Paul has a higher identity of the Roman citizens. but for the gospel, he called himself an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God.

Grace and peace are very important to all Christians. Through God's grace and peace, we may stand firm in the world.

How?

Be humble and follow the way of Christ, we are servants of Jesus Christ and the Lord.
