Romans opens with a powerful introduction to Paul’s identity, mission, and message. He calls himself a “slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.” In these opening verses, Paul reminds us that the gospel is not a new invention but God’s eternal plan, promised long ago through the Old Testament Scriptures and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We see Jesus revealed as both fully man and fully God, the Son of David and the risen Son of God, who brings life and salvation to all who believe.

Here are some things we’ll learn from Romans 1:1–7:

Why Paul begins by declaring himself a servant before anything else.

How the gospel is promised in the Old Testament and fulfilled in Jesus

The necessity for Jesus to be fully God and fully man.

Why the resurrection is central to Jesus’ identity and our hope.

What it means to live “set apart” for the sake of God’s name.

How God’s love calls us to belong to Christ and to live as saints in His presence.
