This week, I consider the nature of God’s power—one that Paul repeatedly says is able to redeem us.

“From beginning to end, Romans announces God's power for salvation, God's power in creation, and God's redemption of the disempowered.” - Beverly Gaventa

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is God’s saving power for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith, as it is written, “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” - Romans 1:16-17
