GOOD NEWS! That is the headline that stands over the opening verses in the book of Romans. Yet this is not just any good news. The message that Paul the Apostle has to declare reaches further than a local hero and deeper than puppy dogs, rainbows, and unicorns. This good news is eternally life transforming because it is the gospel of God. With his eyes set on preaching this glorious gospel in Spain, Paul writes to the church in Rome to encourage them in their walk with Jesus, edify them in Jesus, embolden them to live for Jesus, and empower them to support his work for Jesus. This good news that Paul has to share with the people of Rome, and with us today, is the absolute best news we could ever hear.
