DeRouchie, PhD  \nThesis: In the opening of his letter to the Romans, Paul identifies his apostolic authority and characterizes his apostolic mission, highlighting both its gospel message and Christ-glorifying nature. In short, Paul’s mission is to magnify the majesty of Christ among the Gentiles.  \nRom. 1:1–7. Paul, a servant ofJesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apartfor the gospel of God, 2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake; 6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ; 7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  \nIntroduction  \nI always feel a little apprehension when listening to a preacher for the first time. How serious is he about the Bible? How surrendered is he to its message? Does he savor our Savior, and will he help me do this more. The apostle Paul expected the church in Rome to be asking comparable questions as they received his letter, for neither Paul nor any of his co-workers planted the church there. Yet the apostle was eager for them to support his mission to Spain (Rom 15:24, 28), and he opens his letter by identifying his apostolic authority and by characterizing his apostolic mission. In Romans 1:1–6 he highlights his mission’s gospel message and its Christ-glorifying nature, and then he sets out in the rest of the book to demonstrate the truth and power of the gospel he proclaims. Because I want you not only to trust me as a mouthpiece of God but also to magnify the majesty of the Christ proclaimed throughout all of Scripture, I thought it good to focus our attention this morning on these foundational verses. To that end, let us pray. . . .  \nRomans is a missionary support letter, and here at the beginning Paul opens in v. 1 by highlighting the mission’s messenger, and then he continues through v. 6 by noting the mission’s makeup. Those are the two main parts of my message: the messenger and makeup of the mission.  \nThe Messenger of the Mission (v. 1)  \nThe book opens abruptly: “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God”(v. 1) . In English we would most commonly  \n2  \nbegin with,“A letter from Paul,” which verse 7 then says is directed “To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints.” In verse 1, Paul identifies his role, his office, and his task as a messenger of God. Let’s look at all three.  \nAs to his role, he is “a servant of Christ Jesus.” Right from the start Paul draws attention away from himself to one he serves; “Christ Jesus” is his authority. Christ is a title, not a name. Christos is the Greek word that means “anointed one,” and the Greek Old Testament consistently uses this word to render the Hebrew title maœsûˆîahΩ, Messiah (cf. John 1:41; 4:25). Using the word order “Christ Jesus” rather than the more common “Jesus Christ” places focus on Jesus’messianic role. So from the beginning Paul is wanting his readers to know that he is a follower and even ambassador of the hoped-for Jewish king whom saints had long anticipated would make all wrongs right, conquer sin, curb God’s wrath, and secure blessing for the world.  \nThe language of “servant” likely says more though, for Isaiah the prophet stressed how, after the substitutionary atoning death and victory of Yahweh’s“Servant” king (sg), whom we know of as Jesus (Isa 42:1; 49:3, 5–7; 50:10; 52:13; 53:11), God would commission many priestly “servants”(pl) from both the Jews and the Gentiles","cbCaibZm7JfR7XUR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibZm7JfR7XUR","pdf",144204,"English","# Introduction\n# The Messenger of the Mission (v. 1)\n## Paul’s role as Christ’s servant\n## Paul’s office as an apostle\n## Paul’s task: the gospel\n# The Makeup of the Mission (vv. 1c–6)\n## The Message of the Mission: the Gospel (vv. 1c–4)\n## The Mission Itself: witnesses who magnify Christ (vv. 5–6)","[{\"question\":\"What is the central purpose of Paul’s mission in Romans 1:1–6?\",\"answer\":\"Paul’s mission is to magnify the majesty of Christ among the Gentiles, expressed through a gospel message that produces obedience of faith.
