Romans 1:14-17 ESV
14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith. ”
Paul felt an obligation, an imperative to spread and make known the gospel of Jesus Christ, "for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,".
He was eager to share such a revelation and truth, for it contains salvation and life. It tells the story of love, the sacrificial love of God. Included in this simple gospel is what God did and what we are to do, and it is simply wonderful.
