Not Ashamed
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth” (Romans 1:16).
After his remarkable conversion on the way to Damascus, Paul never lost sight of the gospel of Christ.
He always had a readiness to preach it.
He always had a desire to defend it.
He had a lifestyle to promote and commend it.
He had a joy in suffering because of it.
He had a willingness to die for it.
He felt he had an enormous responsibility to bring the gospel to all people. There is no question; he was not ashamed of the gospel. He knew its transforming power, and what it had done for him in turning his life around. As a result he wanted everyone to hear, to know, and to experience it for themselves. Near the end of his life he could encourage a young man named Timothy “Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God” (2 Timothy 1:8).
What an example for us to share the gospel with others!
