Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God.

“Gospel” can also be translated as “Good News.” In this passage, “Servant” can also be translated as “Slave.” Is it possible to be a slave to the good news of God? Paul would say yes, he just did! He forsook all other plans, all other goals, all other priorities in his life for the one priority that owned him: the Gospel of God. He writes to the Romans so that each one of them will want to do the same thing, become a slave.
