“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” (Romans 1:16)

The apostle Paul writes these bold words as he begins his letter to the Romans. He is unapologetic and unashamed of the gospel, and he wants us to know why. The gospel, Paul says, is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. This is not just a message of good advice or moral guidance; it is a message of transformation and redemption.

In a world where many people are ashamed or embarrassed to talk about their faith, Paul’s words are a powerful reminder of the importance of being bold and unapologetic about the gospel. We should not be ashamed of the gospel, because it is the very power of God that can change people’s lives. Whether we are talking to our friends, our family, or our neighbors, we should be eager to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

So let us take Paul’s words to heart, dear friends. Let us not be ashamed of the gospel, but let us be bold and unapologetic in our witness. Let us share the good news of Jesus Christ with everyone we meet, trusting in the power of God to bring salvation to all who believe. May we be faithful ambassadors of the gospel, and may God use us to bring hope and transformation to a world that desperately needs it.
