Romans 1 · Grade 3
The Power of God
Read the Story
Paul begins his letter by calling himself a servant of Jesus Christ. God called him to be an apostle and to share the Good News. He writes to all in Rome who are loved by God.
Paul thanks God for them, because their faith is known in the whole world. He prays for them always. He wants to visit them so that they can encourage each other by their faith.
Paul says, "For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek."
Paul says God's power can be clearly seen in the world he made. But many people did not thank God. They worshiped things God made instead of God. This makes God sad, because he made us to love him.
