This week we are studying Paul’s Epistles to the Romans. Romans 1-6 “The Power of God unto Salvation” Roman Church members, who were a diverse group of Jews and Gentiles, the Church of Jesus Christ had grown far beyond a small band of believers from Galilee. About 20 years after the Savior’s Resurrection, there were congregations of Christians almost everywhere the Apostles could reasonably travel—including Rome, the capital of a powerful empire. Still, compared to the vastness of the Roman empire, the Church was small and often the object of persecution. In such conditions, some might feel “ashamed of the gospel of Christ”—but, of course, not Paul. He knew and testified that true power, “the power of God unto salvation,” is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16). This podcast is for children studying the New Testament. This week the children will come away knowing: I can show my faith in Jesus Christ by following Him.

Paul taught that the gospel has the power to bring salvation to everyone who lives by faith in Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel. It motivates us to obey the commandments. They will also learn: We all need Jesus Christ in order to be forgiven of our sins.

Paul wanted the Romans to understand that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ and His grace. And finally the children will learn: Being baptized is like becoming a new person.

Paul taught that baptism symbolizes the death and Resurrection of Christ. It also symbolizes being raised up to “walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). We renew our commitment to walk in newness of life every time we partake of the sacrament. This podcast is called Come Follow Me Kids! We are a Come Follow Me Podcast for children and kids!
