i am not ashamed

I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.  That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.  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.  For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

-  Romans 1:14-17


It’s been a while, so we need a song reference!
A restless generation
We're turning over every stone
Hoping to find salvation
In a world that's left us cold
Can we get back to the altar?
Back to the arms of our first love
There's only one way to the Father
And He's calling out to us
To the captive, it looks like freedom
To the orphan, it feels like home
To the skeptic, it might sound crazy
To believe in a God who loves
In a world, where our hearts are breaking
And we're lost in the mess we've made
Like a blinding light, in the dead of night
It's the Gospel
The Gospel that makes a way
It's the Gospel that makes a way
The amazing news of the Gospel
Is not that we can receive Jesus into our lives
But that He's already received us
Into His
In my own life, it means forgiveness
When I know I deserved the fall
It called me out of my darkness
And carried me to the Cross
In a moment, my eyes were opened
In that moment, my heart was changed
Like a blinding light, in the dead of night
It's the Gospel
The Gospel that makes a way

I am not ashamed of the Gospel!!
Let me say that again – I am not ashamed of the Gospel!!
And according to the Bible, we are obligated to share His word with “both the wise and the foolish”.
That means, if you already know His word, I am sharing it to remind you and if you don’t know His word, I am sharing to introduce you.
Come, let me tell you how wonderful my Savior is.

Have a blessed day!
