Why Paul's Gospel Changed Everything—Acts & Romans Explained

Book20 📖 What is the Gospel? Why does Paul say it's the power of God unto salvation? In this verse-by-verse study, Les Feldick teaches Acts 18 and Romans 1, revealing the core message that changed the world—and how it applies to you today. This lesson covers Paul's ministry in Corinth with Aquila and Priscilla, the transformation of Apollos through the gospel of grace, Paul's journey to Rome, and his powerful introduction to the Book of Romans. You'll discover why Paul emphasizes that salvation comes through faith alone—not works, not baptism, not church membership—but belief in what Christ accomplished on the cross. Les breaks down the difference between being "instructed" in religion versus receiving revelation from God, and why the gospel is called "the power of God." 📜 Key Topics Covered: • Acts 18: Paul in Corinth, Aquila and Priscilla, the gospel of grace • Apollos and the difference between instruction and revelation • Acts 27-28: Paul's shipwreck, arrest, and journey to Rome • Romans 1:1-17: Paul's apostleship and the gospel defined • What is salvation? The power of God unto salvation explained • Faith vs. works: Why belief is all that's required • The righteousness of God revealed through faith • Why "the just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17) ✝️ This study emphasizes Paul's unique revelation of grace—the doctrine that Christ's death, burial, and resurrection are the complete payment for sin. Unlike the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) which focus on Christ's earthly ministry to Israel, Paul's epistles reveal the church-age gospel for all believers. You'll understand why Paul says there's no difference between Jew and Greek, and how the gospel went from Israel to the Gentiles. 📖 Les Feldick Bible Study brings you verse-by-verse Bible teaching that makes the scriptures come alive.
