Introduction and Proof<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong>The gospel is more honorable, how so?<\/span><\/p>\n

It brings in God’s righteousness<\/span> here & now
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. salvation<\/span> to every believer, and<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. wrath<\/span> to every unbeliever.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    PROOF#1: as it is written, “He who from faith is righteous shall live.” (Rom 1:17)<\/span><\/p>\n

    PROOF#2: The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. (Rom 1:18ff)<\/span><\/p>\n

    One way to proof is to quote an “authoritative” document. Paul does this in Romans 1:17. The second proof though is the other side of verse 17. The wrath! The wrath of God is being revealed NOW. That’s the other reason the Gospel is righteous and honorable.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Thus, that is Paul’s proof that his position is correct. Next we would expect Paul to refute his opponent’s argument. <\/span><\/p>\n
