How do we know the gospel is the power of God for salvation?
Answered in 6 sources
The gospel is described as 'the power of God unto salvation' in Romans 1:16, emphasizing its role in revealing God's grace to those who believe.
Romans 1:16 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 underscores the truth that the gospel is not about human capability but rather the divine work of Christ. It is through the gospel that believers come to understand their salvation and the righteousness that God has provided. The power of the gospel is found not in the faith of the believer, but in the work of Christ that the gospel proclaims, making it the sole means of salvation for the called and chosen of God.
