The gospel is described as a source of divine power, capable of bringing salvation to anyone who believes in it. This message of salvation is not limited by cultural or ethnic boundaries; it is available to both Jews and Gentiles. This reflects the inclusive nature of God's plan, which extends beyond any single group to encompass all of humanity. The order of 'first to the Jew, then to the Gentile' acknowledges the historical context in which the message was first delivered to the Jewish people, but it also underscores the expansion of this good news to the entire world. Believers are encouraged to embrace the gospel without shame, recognizing its transformative power and the hope it offers. This verse reassures Christians that their faith is rooted in a powerful truth that transcends human divisions and unites all believers in the promise of salvation. It calls for a bold and unashamed proclamation of this faith, trusting in its ability to bring about profound change in the lives of individuals and communities.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Romans 1:16
