God's Plan of Salvation. The Gospel is the power of God for both Jews and Gentiles. the apostle Paul shows the universal sinful human condition and that people must live by faith, as Abraham had done. Paul assures believers that all things work together for good. He recognizes that many Jews did not believe in Christ, but argues that this has served to bring the Gospel to the Gentiles, and has hope that God will one day restore the Jews. Exhortations are given to present our bodies as living sacrifices, remain obedient to government, and bear with weaker members of the faith.

They saw a work of the Spirit where many were added to the church and discipled. He has raised up many pastors who are a part of the Calvary Chapel movement now and where he pastors the large Costa Mesa church in California.The Calvary Chapel movement is based of simple principles that Chuck Smith taught over the years such as: The priority of agape love, Simple fellowship amongst the saints, the breaking of bread, the teaching of God's word chapter by chapter and verse by verse. And lastly and most importantly the principle not by might nor by power but by my spirit saith the Lord.
