Obedience to the Faith

Rom 1:5 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,

Through Him King James Version says by Him = to set off by boundary, limit, exclude, appoint, divide, separate, sever. We might say, through HIM, only HIM and no other.

we have received =we being all Born Again Christain's.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

Received accepted in, 2 things; Grace & Apostleship

1. Grace = getting what we don't deserve
Eph.2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

As a Born Again Christain I receive GOD'S grace through JESUS.

2. apostleship for obedience to the faith, = apostleship receive our commissioning which is obedience to the faith.

As Born Again Christain'swe are commissioned to obey the faith, hold the faith, stand in faith, show our faith by obedience (works).

among all nations that is not only Israel but all nation's and people.

for His name we might say, for His sake or as His representatives.
