Paul's desire to visit Rome was not driven by personal ambition, but by a desire for gospel fruit and the proclamation of Christ. In Romans 1:13–15, Paul shows that gospel plans are submitted to God's providence, gospel ministry seeks fruit that God alone gives, and the grace we have received moves us to make Christ known to all kinds of people. Dave Jenkins explains why Christians can plan faithfully while trusting God's timing, labor without trusting in methods or platforms, and remain eager to proclaim the gospel because it is God's saving message for sinners.
