📖 Romans 1 opens with one of the most powerful declarations in all of Scripture — and most people miss what Paul is really saying about the Gospel, the seed of David, and the power of God.
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Romans 1, we dig into why Paul is uniquely THE Apostle to the Gentiles — not one of many — and what that means for every believer today. Starting at verse 2, we trace the three distinct seeds: the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), the seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:16), and the seed of David — all pointing to Jesus Christ. We explore what it means that Christ was "declared to be the Son of God with power" through the resurrection, and why the resurrection is the very foundation of our salvation and hope.
📜 Les also walks through Paul's timeline — from his conversion around AD 37 through his prison epistles — showing how the Gospel spread to the ends of the Roman Empire. We see how Paul's unique Gospel differs from the Kingdom Gospel of Matthew 10, why there is no contradiction in Scripture (only a change of program), and what it truly means to be called a "saint."
🔑 Key Topics Covered:
• What are the three seeds in Scripture — Genesis 3:15, Galatians 3:16, Romans 1:3?
