| Not Ashamed — Part 1 |
| “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). |
| It seems we live in a world of deception, whether it’s buying a car, purchasing real estate, or just buying some household product online. More and more we need to observe the warning, “Buyer beware!” We sometimes wonder how the company can get away with their exaggerated advertising gimmicks, or how the salesperson can look us in the eye and string us along, or even how they can go to sleep at night with a good conscience. |
| However, when we turn to the Bible, we need not hesitate or be ashamed of the good news of the gospel. It is no exaggeration! The God who cannot lie has promised the sinner the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and the hope and joy of heaven. We can never overestimate the wonder of the message and its powerful results. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). |
