What is "the gospel"? It's a word that saturates the Christian world. We use it to describe a message, a story, music, and truth. But what did it mean to Paul's audience--a people living under the rule and influence of the Roman emperor--and what did it mean to Paul? Paul starts his letter right here: with the gospel, the euangelion, or the good news. He explains what the gospel is, what it does, and only then does he describe in depth the theology behind this, and how it applies to the Roman church. It's a new proclamation of an old promise fulfilled: that the hoped for king of Israel has come to bring about blessing for the nation and the whole world as they come under his rule. Thus, we have Paul preaching this message of hope and unity for both Jew and Gentile to a church divided largely by these ethnic boundary markers.
