Now, here's the point that feels most important to me this morning:
I want you to see that the Gospel is the power of God... for all of that! Not just for conversion, not just for justification; for salvation, for the whole thing!
And so we need to hear the Gospel again, and again, and again, because it is not only the power of God that converts us. It is the power of God that sanctifies us! It is the power of God that sustains us! It is the power of God that keeps us persevering in the faith!
Faith comes from hearing the message, and that doesn't just meant justifying faith. Sanctifying faith comes from hearing the message! Persevering faith comes from hearing the message! And that's why Paul said in verse 15 that he is so eager to preach the Gospel to believers! The Gospel is for believers!
-Mike Shea, on Romans 1:16

just to let you know, Gospel is misspelled in your subject for this post. :P
Whoops!
Thanks for the heads-up, Ramona!
Wonder if we're going to get some more of that good 'ol "Gosel" preaching next Sunday? ;o)
