Introduction to Romans: Paul's Calling and the Gospel of God

Romans 1:1-6 introduces Paul as an apostle with a specific calling to proclaim the gospel of God. It emphasizes the lineage of Jesus as a descendant of David, His resurrection as the Son of God, and the universality of the gospel message, extending to both Jews and Gentiles. These verses set the stage for the exploration of key theological themes that follow in the letter to the Romans.
