Believe In The Power Of God's Word

Romans 1:16a 

 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: 

for it is the power of God unto salvation to every 

one that believeth;

Romans 1:1-17 

 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;  Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.  Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.  I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Praise God for His Word

1. Praise God for His Word! from its pages divine
   Came the light of His love to this poor heart of mine:
   I had wandered afar in the byways of sin,
   When the light of His truth to my heart entered in.
   • Refrain:
     Praise God for His grace which its pages unfold!
     For the story of love which will never grow old!
     For the light on life’s pathway which streams from its pages!
     Praise God for His Word, blessed Book of the Ages!
2. Praise God for His Word; for the heavenly light
   It is sending afar into sin’s darksome night;
   For the hope which it gives, where before was despair,
   For the Heaven revealed, and the way leading there!
3. Praise God for His Word! not a promise shall fail;
   Whatsoe’er may oppose, still its truth will prevail:
   ’Tis the Word of our God and fore’er must endure;
   Earth and heaven may pass, but it standeth secure.
4.
