"Ashamed..."

“Ashamed…”

Blessings folk!

Are you ashamed of the gospel?
Are you ashamed of the good news…the death, burial, resurrection of the Lord for our salvation?
Are you embarrassed by the plan of the Lord to redeem rebellious man?

Be not.

Why?

Because, it is the power of God…

Rom 1:16-17

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.

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”


The gospel is the power of God unto salvation.
For the Jew first.
But, also for the Greek.

Why are we “embarrassed”?
Perhaps we are not saved.
Perhaps we give more attention to pride than we do the Lord. We fear what man “thinks.”

God’s righteousness…His “right acting”…is revealed in the gospel.
It is revealed from faith to faith.

Why?

Because the righteous man shall live by faith.

Fear not speaking the truth of the power of God.
It is the gospel.
It transforms life.
It brings forth the Kingdom of God.
