This passage reflects on apostle Paul's feelings toward the Romans. In this letter, he mentions a lot about spreading the Word to Rome. He exclaims his love for God and his longing to go to Rome and 'impart to [them] some spiritual gift to make you strong'. The main theme of this passage really speaks to me because it resembles a heart that truly wants to just go out there and let the world know about God. In verse 14, Paul is not going to be a missionary/leader just for the believers but the non-believers as well. "I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish" ; everyone, regardless of who you are or what your background is, should have a glimpse of God's amazing grace.
"I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile." Do not be ashamed for you know God and you know salvation, but be afraid for those around who do not know of Christ. I gotta be more faithful like Paul (not Paul Choi because he is weird) and continue to live a righteous life under God. Oh Praise Him.
Just kidding Paul.
Amen.
