For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous will live by faith.”
In today’s Epistle, Paul reminds the Romans that God’s salvation is open to everyone. We are called to believe in God’s goodness and mercy. We cannot save ourselves by our own doing.
Many in today’s world think that they can save themselves. Some think if they only make enough money to acquire things they would be free, never to worry about happiness again. Others think that if they only moved in the right social circles they would be happy. Still others believe that if they could look a certain way, then they too would be happy. Others strive for power.
Show me what you put first in your life, and I’ll show you what you believe in. “God’s salvation is open to everyone who has faith.” That faith is not in things, power, money or looks, but in God’s infinite goodness and mercy.
