Romans 1, by Senior Pastor Fred Garcia

Ro 1:1 bondservant-He designates himself as “a servant of Jesus Christ.” The word is Doulos, the most abject, servile term used by the Greeks to denote a slave. The word designated one who was born as a slave, one who was bound to his master in chords so strong that only death could break them, one who served his master to the disregard of his own interests, one whose will was swallowed up in the will of his master. Wuest’s Word Studies from the Greek New Testament–Volume 1.

1:5 – grace free gift of God; unmerited favor, blessing, kindness, credit
-Apostleship – a sending
- To bring about (motion into– motion produced by grace) obedience of faith
(that you would choose to obey, not under compulsion)(...of faith, because you have confidence!)
-Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Heb 11:1)
-...Jesus, through whom we’ve received the unmerited favor and a sending
out to compel us of our own free will into obedience, to freely follow and act
upon the substance, the evidence of the unseen realm in the very midst of
everyone for His name’s sake...

AMPC Romans 1:19 - 20 19 For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God [Himself] has shown it to them. 20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], [Ps. 19: 1 - 4.] 

Job 12:7 - 9 (NASB) 7 "But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. 8 "Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare to you. 9 "Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this.
