How do we know the gospel is the power of God?

Answered in 12 sources

The gospel is described in Romans 1:16 as the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, confirming its transformative nature.

In Romans 1:16, Paul clearly states, 'For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.' This assertion illustrates that the gospel holds unique power to transform lives and bring people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not merely a set of teachings or moral guidelines but the divine instrument through which God works to regenerate hearts. The narrative in the book of Acts illustrates this, showing that by preaching the gospel, thousands were saved and lives transformed. The church itself is built upon this power, showing the necessity of preaching the gospel as the central mission of the church.
