The Glory of God's Righteousness Revealed in Christ
While obedience is not the gospel, it is no less than the fruit the gospel is to produce in believers' lives. And this fruit of obedience is intended to bring glory to none other than the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ Our Lord. Each of these 4 words found at the end of Romans 1:4 carry weighty theological significance, from what it means for Jesus to be the Christ (Messiah), to what it means for Jesus to be Lord, and even more specifically, Our Lord. Even the very name Jesus is filled this theological weight. Join us as we unpack these magnificent words with which Paul uses to define the subject of the gospel - Jesus Christ Our Lord.
The Resurrection matters! It vindicates and validates everything Jesus ever said and did. The eternal Son who took on human flesh that He might die has now been raised and enthroned in power.
What does it mean that Jesus was descended from David according to the flesh? Is this simply a way of giving Jesus' genealogical record? Scripture has much to say concerning the promise of a greater David. And that's precisely what Paul is referring to in verse 3 - that Jesus is the long expected Son of David.
The Gospel Concerning God’s Son: Part 2, Descended from David according to the Flesh (Romans 1:1-4)
How important is the Doctrine of Christ? Is the Incarnation truly a doctrine to divide over? For the apostle Paul, the Person of Jesus Christ is so central to the Gospel that he opens his letter with four non-negotiable portraits of who Jesus is: the Eternal Son of God, the promised Son of David, the Risen Reigning Messiah, and Lord. Without a correct understanding of the Person of Jesus Christ, the Work of Jesus Christ doesn't matter; only a Jesus who is truly God and truly man is able to save. So, before getting to the Work of Jesus Christ, Paul reminds the readers of the Worth of Jesus Christ, the subject not only of the Gospel but all of Scripture.
