Let us study the Epistles of Apostle Paul to the Romans: Chapter 1.

As we study the Bible, I like you also to participate with the study. We will study chapter by chapter and verse by verse. I may not read all verses, and I expect you to read them; however, I will have the verses printed in the transcript so that you may refer to them. Let us begin with the first chapter of the epistle to Romans.

["1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,"]  In verse 1, Paul introduces himself as the servant of Jesus Christ and his apostle. It is for the purpose of the gospel of God. An apostle is an ambassador to a kingdom, and he will represent the king with the power that the king bestowed upon him. An ambassador is an official, high-ranking diplomat who represents their home country's government in a foreign nation. So, an apostle must be appointed by God, given the power necessary from God with proof, and he must represent the kingdom of God, in this world. But the present apostles are either made by some churches or even by Satan. Then the gospel is the good news from God telling how we can inherit the kingdom of God in heaven. Now a days there are so many fake ways to attain good life in the world, as well as get to heaven through the back door, are preached as the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are all fake and the gospel from Satan. Jesus Christ is the only one who preached the gospel, and the apostles has explained the gospel of Jesus Christ as the apostle's doctrine. ["2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)"] Verse 2 says, that the gospel and the author of the gospel the Lord Jesus Christ were mentioned even in the old testament through so many prophesies. The next two verses give the most important information, but most preachers and Christians miss them. Please note verses 3&4 more carefully and please do not forget them. "3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;" It is about our Lord Jesus Christ; however it is about the Man Jesus who was of the flesh, and he was from the genealogy of Judah and king David, which is foretold by many prophesies in the old testament. Here God has become a mere sinful flesh man, as in John 1:14 and Romans 8:3. ["John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, ... Romans 8:3 ..., God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"] And Jesus was the Seed of the woman, that is of a Virgin. I have another lesson on this topic, and you may refer to the link for details: "Was made sinful Flesh." When Jesus Christ has finished or accomplished his job as a man, he was raised from the dead and the resurrected Jesus was made Lord, Christ, Begotten Son, God the Son, and Almighty God again as he was God before. It is verse 4. "4 says, And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:" So, it is very important that after the day that Jesus was accented to heaven, he is in the Omnipotent Spirit, but no longer in the flesh. But Christians see him either as a man, or a legend of a man. Christians preach and desire that Jesus may do the things, miracles, healings, raising the dead, and feeding thousands, and such even now as he is God. They have no vision of the kingdom of God in heaven at all. But for all practical applications, the Lord Jesus Christ is in the omnipotent Spirit, as he was before as God the Word, for the last 2000+ years. For details please refer to these links: 1) "Begotten Son," 2) "Jesus Christ is Almighty God."

2. Unmerited favor Grace is by Satan; Apostles have power to impart Gifts.

["5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:"] In verse 5&6, apostles are ambassadors to God; in order to make converts from all nations; to have faith in him, and to obey him. Grace is given to obey Jesus Christ by faith. Those who do not obey Jesus Christ do not have grace. But the grace ministers are the servants of Satan the devil and they say that their grace is unmerited favor; and that grace is of Satan, it deceives Christians. ["7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."] Verse 7 mentions that this message is only to the beloved saints of God. ["8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;"] Verses 8-11 says, that the apostles even have power to give spiritual gifts to believers on behalf of God, when the lay hand on them. More references are: Acts 8:18 and 1 Timothy 4:14. ["12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me."] Verse 12 talks about their faith in God by the phrase "the mutual faith", but it is not faith on each other. ["13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles."] Verse 13 is about Apostle Paul has solicited monitory help for poor believers, and he admired them also. But he served for free in church of Corinth.

The basis of the foundation of the new testament is based on Ephesians 2:12-17, and Acts 10:34&35, and it says that all the world population is brought as one group, and God is God of all with no respecter of persons, that is he will be same to everybody. ["Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. ... Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."] Now let us see Romans 1:14-16. "14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believe either Jew or gentile. It is because it is done by the power that Jesus Christ has, and his presence will be with his disciples working with power, who will be preaching the gospel; it is in Matthew 28:18-20. ["18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."] The servants of God preached Jesus Christ: 1) Jesus as the Man, as well as 2) Christ in the Omnipotent Spirit as God; as in: Acts 3:20, 4:2, 5:42, 8:35, 17:3, 18, & 2 Corinthians 1:9, 4:5. They also have preached the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as in: [Matthew 11:5, 24:14, 26:13, Mark 14:9, 16:15, Luke 4:18,7:22, 20:1, Acts 8:25, 14:7, 21, 16:10, Romans 1:5, 10:15, 15:9, 20, 1 Corinthians 1:17, 9:14, 16, 18, 15:1, 2 Corinthians 2:12, 5:16&17, 10:16, 11:7, Galatians 1:14, 2:2, 4:13, 1Thessalonians 2:9, Hebrews 4:2, & 1 Peter 1:12, 4:6]. The list of the three of scriptures are, 1) Jesus as the Son of Man, 2) Jesus Christ as the begotten Son, who is God the Son, and 3) the preaching of the true gospel that Jesus Christ preached. All other gospels that Jesus Christ did not preach as the gospel are false gospels.

4. Righteousness, as well as the Wrath, are revealed and manifested to themselves.
