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!
