      Paul’s Letter to the Romans

1 - (From) Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the message of God, 2 which he promised long ago through his prophets, in the holy scriptures, 3 namely his Son {the message, the promise}. He was descended from David according to the earthly (as written) 4 and was declared - in power - to be the Son of God. For it was demonstrated through the Spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead. 5 It is through him, Jesus Christ, our Lord, that we have received grace and this apostleship [apostolé - to be sent] . And this in order to bring about faith and the fruit of obedience to it, for the sake of his name, and his cause among all nations. 6 This includes all of you, who are called [klétos - called, invited] to belong to Jesus Christ. {During this brief lifetime.}

     7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints (believers) - Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Good News!

The gospel (good news) is in very large part, psychological, bottom line being, we are all miserable sinners and Jesus was executed in our place.

 ⁷Cows and bears will eat together,
      and their calves and cubs will lie down in peace.

Revelation 22:1,2  
¹The angel also showed me the river of the water of life, 
sparkling like crystal, and coming from the throne of God 
and of the Lamb and flowing down the middle of the city's street.  
 ²On each side of the river was the tree of life, 
which bears fruit twelve times a year, once each month; 
and its leaves are for the healing of the nations.
