THE PREACHING OF JESUS CHRIST
Romans 16:25-27
The "preaching Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery" has escaped the attention of the church since apostolic times. This inattention is nowhere greater than in Romans 1 & 16 where Paul contrasts his gospel with that God had promised before:
| THE GOSPEL OF GOD 1:1-17 |
MY GOSPEL Rom. 16:25-27 |
Concerning His Son Jesus Christ, 1:3
|
The preaching of Jesus Christ |
Promised afore, 1:2 |
Kept silent since world began now manifest |
Prophets in the holy scriptures Unto
obedience of faith among all nations, 1:5 |
Prophetic writings |
Grace from God our Father, |
For the obedience of faith to all nations |
To the end ye may be established, 1:11
|
Praise to the eternal God, to God only wise
|
The power of God unto salvation, 1:16
|
To Him Who is able to establish you
|
Righteousness revealed...as it is written, 1:17
|
To Him Who is of power |
|
Revelation of the mystery... prophetic scriptures |
The left column shows a message shared with Peter and the twelve, but the right column is Paul's alone. Among its many names are: the gospel of the grace of God, the gospel of the uncircumcision, the gospel of the glory of the blessed God. This is God's good news today!
