The apostle Paul in his epistle to
the Romans expressed his zeal to preach the gospel of Christ without shame.
Though he had not been to the church in Rome, Paul wrote this letter to teach
them that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel of Christ. The
Gospel of Christ, however, is the sum total of the teachings and life of Jesus
Christ. It was in those days a great challenge for a Jew to proclaim the gospel
because the Jews had rejected Him (Christ) and even called Him a devil. Not
only that but He was delivered into the hands of gentiles (that is, the Romans)
to be killed.
