Romans 1: Not Ashamed of the Good News

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle, writes to all in Rome who are beloved of God. He thanks God that their faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world and says he prays for them always, longing to visit so they may encourage one another. He is not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes. God's power and divinity are clearly seen in the things he made, yet people did not glorify him or give thanks, but exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped created things rather than the Creator.
