“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes; first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed--a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’”  Romans 1:16-17
 
Just look at the words included in these two verses:
*Gospel (good news of Jesus Christ):  The gospel is the fulfillment of God’s plan of salvation completed in the finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ.
 
*God: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  The source of life, hope, forgiveness and 
justification
 
*Power: Omnipotent; the all encompassing power of God.
 
*Salvation: Deliverance from sin and death.  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16
 
*Everyone: The gospel is a universal offer; ‘whoever believes’!
 
*Believes:  This is the requirement!  “He who believes in Him (Jesus Christ) is not 
condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has 
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”  John 3:18
 
*Righteousness: The state of rightness with God.  “For He (God) made Him (Jesus) 
who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”  
2 Corinthians 5:21 
 
*Revealed: This is not an earthly revelation that man can discover, but as our verses 
tells us, it is revealed from above by the gospel in the power of God! 
 
*Faith: It is by faith that we believe!  And Scripture tell us that it is a gift of God; faith 
to believe!  
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”  Ephesians 2:8-9
And Scripture tells us,
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe 
that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”  Hebrews 11:6
 
Clearly, our salvation from beginning to end is all the work of God; from the announce of the good news to the gift of faith to receive and onward.  It is God’s love that is beyond comprehension.
 
Paul prays this mighty prayer for the Ephesians and all Believers including us (we need to 
take heed and heart as we read it carefully):
Ephesians 3:14-21,
14. “For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
15. From whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 
16. That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with 
might through His Spirit in the inner man,
17.  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded 
in love, 
18.  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and
height--
19.  to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the 
fullness of God.
20.  Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, 
according to the power that works in us,
21.  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.  Amen.” 
 
There are so many verses of Scripture on each one of these words I picked out, so I would encourage you do a study on any one or all of them.  You would be blessed.
 
Most gracious, loving and merciful God, with humble hearts we thank You for drawing us to Yourself.  This life in You is out of Your great love which is beyond our understanding.  We thank you and thank you again!  All honor and glory are Yours!  Amen
