In Romans chapter 1, this is mentioned at least four times : &#8220;the gospel of God&#8221; (v.1), &#8220;the gospel of His Son&#8221; (v.9); in verse 15, Paul says he is ready to preach the gospel, and in verse 16, he says he&#8217;s not ashamed of the gospel, which is the power of God.  The gospel in the first four books was concerning Christ in the flesh, before his death and resurrection; the gospel in Romans is concerning Christ as the Spirit, after His resurrection.  In the first four gospels, He is among His disciples; in the gospel in Romans, He is the Spirit within His believers.  This is the main difference between the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and the gospel of Romans.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Romans (Program #3)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-09-08T06:14:09-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Romans (Program #3) - The Gospel of God\r\n\r\nThrough His incarnation, the Triune God became a man, Jesus Christ, to be among us.
