The Good News of God

,
The term "gospel" is used about sixty times in Romans. The word means “glad tidings.” It is the good news that God will deliver us from our selfish sin, free us from our burden of guilt, and give meaning to life and make it abundant. The most important thing about the gospel is that it is of God. Paul makes that clear in the first sentence so his readers have no confusion about which "good news" he was declaring.

Except for a few individuals he had met elsewhere, he did not know the Christians in Rome. Yet he addresses them both warmly and forthrightly, as if they were close friends.
