If someone asked you what the gospel is, what would you say? Here are three options: you might focus on (1) who Jesus is (the Son of God who the Father sent into the world), (2) what Jesus did (he lived, died, and rose again), or (3) what we receive if we believe in Jesus (the forgiveness of sins and eternal life). When the Bible talks about the gospel in Romans 1, it talks about those three things—who Jesus is (“the Son of God” and “our Lord,” 1:4), what he has done (“resurrection from the dead,” 1:4), and what we receive if we believe (“salvation,” 1:16). But it also adds something else, a fourth important part of the gospel. It talks about who the gospel is for. The wonderful answer is “everyone” (1:16)! The good news about Jesus is for “all the nations” (1:5). So, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, like this Gentile woman we can come to Jesus, bow before him, and receive mercy.
