The Power of the Gospel - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year: Psalms 126-128, 1 Corinthians 10:19-33

I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.
Romans 1:15

Today's Scripture & Insight: Romans 1:. Jesus—how Paul had once hated that name. And how Jesus Himself had suffered for admitting to being the king of the Jews and Savior of the world.

This was the good news Paul would explain in the rest of his letter to the Romans. This gospel was "the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes" (v. 16). Oh, how it was needed by those who suffered under Caesar! Here was the news of a crucified and resurrected Savior—the liberator who conquered His enemies by showing how much He loved them.

Reflect & Pray
As you read Paul's opening words to the Romans, what phrases describe the good news to you? (1:1-7). Why would Paul, who had once hated Jesus so much, now want everyone to believe in Him? (see Acts 26).

Loving God, thank You for the good news. Give me the boldness to share the gospel with those around me.
