… Paul a servant of Christ Jesus called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets and his holy scriptures regarding his son who as to his human nature was a descendant of David and who through the spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the son of God by his resurrection from the dead Jesus Christ our Lord.

To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints, grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because your faith is being reported all over the world.

… then he begins to explain the gospel which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures concerning his son who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the son of God in power according to the spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead Jesus Christ our Lord through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about. So this is what I want to bring about. It's what I'm living for. The obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. I'm writing to you at Rome, to all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints, grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Then he begins to thank them. Thank God for them as he does in many of his letters. First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in all the world. …
… We've already seen in verse 2, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures. So the gospel of God has been promised. There are going to be quotations upon quotations from the Old Testament. So this gospel is absolutely in the Old Testament. But now with the coming of the Son of God and the proclamation of this apostolic gospel, the light switch has fully come on. Remember that line so good from B.B. Warfield, The Old Testament is a room richly furnished but dimly lit. Richly furnished. It has all of the best appliances. It has all the nicest upholstery. It has it all there. It's the same stuff. It's richly furnished. It's there in the Old Testament, but the room is dimly lit. You had to feel your way around, and you weren't quite sure always what you were seeing and looking at. And now with the death and resurrection of Christ, that dimly lit, well-furnished room has had the light flipped on so that in the gospel of Jesus Christ, now there is a grand unveiling. …
… Amen. Romans chapter 1, verses 1 through 7. We read from God's Word beginning at chapter 1, verse 1. Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning his son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the son of God in power according to the spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

… sent out, deployed, set apart for the sake of the gospel, the good news of God, the good news He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures the good news concerning His Son, who was descended from David, the King, according to the flesh, and who, according to the Spirit of holiness, was declared in power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead, Jesus the Christ, the anointed King, our Lord.

… and set apart for the gospel of God, the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets and the Holy Scriptures. Of course, this is the Old Testament prophecies. Jesus fulfilled over 300 of them. Let me say that again. 300 of them. And when these prophecies were being written, some of the dudes and some of the girls were like, yeah, I kind of get it, but they didn't really get it. But when Jesus came, wow, everything came together. Everything connected, cufflinks. So the gospel promised beforehand through the prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David. Let me stop.

He was 100% man, born in the lineage of David. That's why he had the right, obviously, to reign and rule and does on the throne. …
