“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, was called to be an apostle and was chosen for the gospel of God.
I have been cleansed" verse 1
This verse is Paul's self-introduction.
The Greeks, unlike us, write the sender (sender) at the beginning of the letter.
Then the recipient, and a greeting.
However, even at the beginning of Paul's letter of introduction, he uses the word {gospel}.
Not only is he doing this, but as soon as the word {Gospel} comes out, his passion pours out.

Everyone has something they like. Excitement and excitement that you can't usually feel.
You will see them talking or doing things with their feelings, which means that the person
It shows what you value and how you live.
Think about what we are excited about.
Paul was obsessed with the gospel. Just telling the story of the gospel makes me excited
I couldn't hide it, and I was happy and joyful in whatever I did about Jesus and salvation.
I often look forward to the worship service because I want to preach. preparing a sermon
There are times when I get impatient because time is far away. And while preaching the word
I hope that you will also have a passion for the Gospel.
I hope you become a person who is obsessed with doing church work. I want to do God's work.

When Paul introduced himself, he said, “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ,” and introduced himself.
There is. This is a very important expression.
In the original Greek, the first letter is [Paul] and it begins with {Dulos}-Servant.
The Apostle Paul was well aware that 3/1 of the population in Rome were slaves, and also
I am well aware of how miserable people's notion of species is perceived.
Wool.
Slaves have been the property of their masters for the rest of their lives, and they have no morals or morals and are unconditional.
Not only did they obey their masters, they were sold and sometimes sold.
Ye and the donkey are the same, but the donkey cannot speak and the slave speaks differently.”
is even recorded.
In this situation, Paul introduces himself as a servant, without the slightest embarrassment.
said frankly.
The Romans boasted of their power, boasted of their masters, boasted of being Roman citizens,
I am proud to be a free citizen. Wherever I go, I am not a slave, especially with Roman power
Proud of being a privileged class, Paul says he is a slave, not a free man.
But who's servant is important? is to do
Paul did not want to be a servant of men.
Raouljeon- Raul: A gentle and sincere person
Paul: A person who is arrogant and insincere but does not want to be defeated by others;
A person who wants to gain strength and has succeeded in seizing this good fortune.
However, this Paul was one step ahead of Raul even in believing in Jesus, and for the sake of martyrdom
It was also one step faster.
We must conquer the world. Rule the world and do all that God has made.
Li is what God wants.
But to only one God, you must be a slave.
In life with people, you will meet God even if you are clever, sullen, and cunning.
From Yin, you have to be gentle like a servant, be honest, and be blind.
But in the world we bow to those in power, kneel before honor,
Serving people, trying to shout before God, and going to God's temple
There are people who come and try to stand up for their claims and try to rule them.
How stupid are you?
You should use the word servant only for yourself. And you are the servant.
Others should not be viewed as slaves.
We believe in Jesus in order to become servants.
It is only to become a servant of Jesus alone.
We learn and memorize many things, but if we shorten all of these
The process of making the Lord's servants is the life of faith.
A true believer must be able to confess, {I am a servant of Jesus Christ}.

This is both theologically and grammatically wrong. And this is his
It indicates the state of faith.
Words are always meant to humble themselves. This is humanity and morality.
All.
But how much more can we exalt ourselves before God and humble ourselves before God?
how?
Paul goes on to say that he was called to be an apostle.
The word apostle means one who is commissioned, sent, or called.
All.
A person's worth depends on the mission he has.
The same goes for things. Why was it made? Where else is it written?
Depending on whether or not it is cherished? Will you be taken lightly? will be decided.
All.
Paul wanted himself to be a servant of Christ, but God made him a servant of the gospel.
That is why he was appointed as an [Apostle].
This is the spiritual relationship between believers and God.
Because we give up and give up, God exalts us and makes us more precious.
You use it for work.
Also, this gospel preached by Paul says, "God through the prophets concerning his Son,
It was promised in advance in the Bible” (verse 2).
The promise here refers to historicity.
Also, the fact that the prophets prophesied in advance and that He came in the flesh afterward is two of the gospels.
One dimension is a promise, and the other is a realistic fulfillment of the promise.

Paul stood on the basis of the Bible and thousands of years of history. How true I am
Are you ceramic?
Even now, in Korea, there are people who make up their own theories and claim them, but oh
It cannot branch. (Olive tree, Munjesu)
Without a promise, there is no fulfillment. Grace and blessings come through the promise.

What kind of person Jesus is? may differ from culture to culture. (Minjung Theology, Hope)
theology, Pungryu theology, etc.)
But we must not deny that He is God.
So theologically, Jesus is called the {eschatological revelator} (the Son of God).

But many people try to stick to God's revelation.
