Observations:
Clearly, we can see that Paul is unashamedly passionate about the Gospel. Let's look at why:
- It is the power of God
- It brings salvation to those who believe
- That is, it is the vehicle for salvation, not that the Gospel itself grants salvation
- God's righteousness is revealed
- His righteousness is revealed from the faith of his followers
- His righteousness, revealed by faith, is for the growing of faith in his followers
- Why? The righteous shall live by faith
- Faith shall be the method upon which followers of Christ base their lives
So, God's power is revealed, leading to salvation; God's righteousness is revealed, leading to faith; and faith is the substance upon which those saved thrive.
I'd say the gospel is pretty important, then.
