Why does Paul link obedience to faith, not rules? Romans 1:1–7 opens by showing that the gospel is centered on Jesus and that true obedience flows from trusting what His death accomplished. Pastor Paul explains how believers are now set free from the power of sin, called to live for God’s purposes, and invited to see themselves as dead to sin and alive in Christ. You’ll learn why rule-keeping can’t produce righteousness, how faith fuels daily obedience, and what it means to belong to Jesus as His servant and child.
