Romans 1:5
Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,
All that we receive from God is through Jesus. Without Him, we could not even have a relationship with God.
Through Jesus, Paul and the other apostles received grace. Grace refers to God giving them the ability to do what He expected them to do.
Through Him, they also received their apostleship, their commission to proclaim the gospel to all nations.
When Jesus sends us to do something, He always supplies everything we need to accomplish it from beginning to end.
The apostles’ responsibility was to cause people from all nations to become obedient to the faith. The faith refers to all that we believe as followers of Jesus. Obedience is very important to God, yet most believers take it very lightly.
All of this is done for Jesus’ name, for His glory and His honor.
