The Consequences of God's Call (Romans 1:14-17)
Pastor Chuck Huckaby, February 7, 2010Part of the Romans series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
To listen to the Prosperity Gospel proclaimed today, if Paul were truly "faithful", he would have been content to "manifest his belief" by luxuriating in a mansion in Tarsus overlooking the Mediterranean!
If that's what the Good News is, why did he risk his life preaching God's Word?
What explains his profound sense of obligation and amazement that the Good News is for Gentiles too?
The "Prosperity Gospel" cannot explain it.
Paul's sense of divine obligation comes because Paul is amazed at the wonder of justification by faith that is available to Jew and Gentile completely by faith through grace.
That amazing goodness of God moves him beyond to quest for self-satisfaction to pouring out his life for the Good News of God.

Romans 1:14-17
14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” (ESV)
