【传扬神大能的福音】

引言：保罗为何热衷于传福音？

一、传神福音的使徒 (V1-7)

保罗形容自己是耶稣基督的仆人，奉召成为使徒，特派为传神的福音。他自认是蒙神拣选作为传神福音的使徒，而且他传福音的对象是万国。

‘福音’希腊文意思是‘好消息’。使徒保罗在此声明他所传的‘福音’，是早在旧约时代就已经预言了。有先知预告基督是大卫王的后代；祂会在世上行神迹奇事；祂会死里复活，以大能显明是神的儿子。

我们蒙拣选得救恩，是为要传福音，传扬主耶稣是神的儿子、是基督。

二、福音要给所有人 (V8-17)

保罗要去罗马，他不单止要得着罗马的人，他是要得着所有的人。在罗马的除了有犹太人，也有很多外邦人，保罗说欠了他们‘福音的债’，因为福音要传给所有人！

本来是逼迫基督徒的罪魁祸首保罗，得到神的救恩，而且还指派他特别的务，要他去向各式各样的人传福音。所以保罗只要是内可以传福音的，他就一定要去。否则他就觉得欠了他们福音的债。其实我们也是领受了主耶稣极大的恩典﹗所以我们都要有保罗那种‘欠福音债’的心态，积极地去传福音给所有的人，因为神要救一切相信祂的人。

三、不承认神惹神怒 (V18-32)

1.故意不承认真神（V18-23）

这里指出人对神的不虔诚和不恭敬，表现在人不承认神透过天地万物，所带给他们的启示。而且还拜偶像把荣耀归给偶像和受造之物。所以人犯罪不是因为不认识神，乃是因为故意不承认真神。

2. 神因忿怒任凭人（V24-32）

‘任凭’的意思不是说神认可或放纵，而是由人选择自己的路，让人自食其果。所以神的忿怒就是显明在祂任凭人自作自受，人要承受自己犯罪的一切后果。人在行事中没有神，就‘放纵可羞耻的情慾’，‘存邪僻的心，行不合神意的事’，就是第29-31节所提到的21样‘不虔不义’的事。他们虽知道行这样事的人是当死的，然而他们不但自己去行，还喜欢拉人一同行进罪中！

保罗列出的罪，是世人所犯的罪，古今都有，今天更是变本加厉，而世人正在自食其果！

总结：

林前9:16 …若不传福音，我便有祸了。
我们都要传扬神大能的福音，让更多人得知神的大能！因信得救！因信得生！

Romans 1: Preaching the Powerful Gospel of God
GK611 Morning Devotion
30/5/2023
Speaker: Ps Daniel

Introduction: Why was Paul passionate about preaching the gospel?

1. The Apostle who preached the gospel of God (V1-7)

Paul described himself as a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, and sent to preach the gospel of God. He considered himself to be chosen by God as an apostle to preach the gospel of God, and that he preached the gospel to all nations.

The Greek word for 'gospel' means 'good news'. The apostle Paul declares here that the 'gospel' he preached was foretold as far back as the days of the Old Testament. Some prophets foretold that Jesus Christ was a descendant of King David; that He would do signs and wonders in the world; that He would rise from the dead and reveal Himself in power as the Son of God.

We were chosen for salvation in order to preach the gospel and to proclaim the Lord Jesus as the Son of God and the Christ.

2. The Gospel is to be given to all men (V8-17)

Paul was going to Rome, and he did not only want to reach the people of Rome, but all the people. There were not only Jews in Rome, but also many Gentiles, to whom Paul said he owed a 'gospel debt', for the gospel was to be preached to all men!

Paul, who had been the culprit of the persecution of Christians, received salvation from God, and was assigned a special task to preach the gospel to all kinds of people. Therefore, Paul had to go to all those who were within his power to preach the gospel. Otherwise he would have felt indebted to them for the gospel. So we all need to have the same 'indebted to the gospel' mentality that Paul had, and actively preach the gospel to all people, because God wants to save all those who believe in Him.

3. Not acknowledging God provokes God's anger (V18-32)

(1) Deliberately denial of the true God (V18-23)

Here it is pointed out that man's ungodliness and irreverence toward God are manifested in his failure to recognise the revelation that God has brought to them through all things in heaven and earth. Moreover, they worship idols and give glory to them and to create things. Therefore, men do not sin because they do not know God, but because they deliberately do not recognise the true God.

(2) God gave man up to wrath (V24-32)

The word 'let' does not mean that God approves or indulges, but that man chooses his own way and lets him eat his own fruit. So the wrath of God is revealed in the fact that He leaves man to his own devices, and man will suffer all the consequences of his own sin. Without God in his actions, man 'indulges in shameful lusts' and 'has an evil heart and does those things which are not reasonable', which are the 21 'ungodly and unrighteous' things mentioned in verses 29-31. The 21 'ungodly and unrighteous' things mentioned in verses 29-31. Although they know that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves, but also enjoy the practice of others, and drag them into sin together! The sins listed by Paul are the sins of the world, which have been committed in the past and in the present, and are being intensified today, and the world is eating its own fruit!

Conclusion:

1 Cor 9:16 ...woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. We all need to preach the mighty gospel of God so that more people will learn of God's power! Receiving salvation by faith! Receiving life by faith!
