In this sermon from Romans 1:1–7 (focusing on verse 5 and 6), we see that the gospel of God does not merely inform us, it calls us.

After unfolding the gospel as promised in the Scriptures and declared in power through the resurrection, and after establishing the weight of Christ’s Lordship and our identity as His servants, Paul now turns to us:

“including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.”

We will also see how this call produces the obedience of faith, for the sake of Christ’s name, among all nations, including us today.
