What does Paul say about Jesus in Romans as the Son of God and the seed of David?
Paul refers in Romans to Jesus as the Son of God according to the seed of David, and this identification is accompanied by power. The context illustrates that power through His authority over nature, storms, water, fish, and provision, showing He is not merely David’s descendant but the powerful Son of God.
Les explains that Paul’s statement in Romans presents Jesus as the Son of God after the seed of David, but with power. The miracles show that power over nature: He spoke and the wind died down and the sea became calm; He walked on the water; He knew about the tax money in a fish’s mouth; and He directed the disciples to cast the net on the other side, resulting in a full catch. These displays support Paul’s reference that He is the Son of God after the seed of David, with power.
