“I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation unto every one that believeth” (Romans 1:16).
When I was a boy, I remember an occasion when my father’s boss bought a new car. It was an expensive car, for he was a wealthy man. However, within a day or two, the car would not start, and it had to be towed back to the dealer for repairs. The dealer was very embarrassed and ashamed about this, and apologized to my dad’s boss several times. They also gave him a nice replacement car while the first one was being repaired.
However, we never need to be embarrassed or ashamed of the gospel of Christ. It always does what God says it will do! It is always the power of God unto salvation, for anyone who believes. I have never yet met a Christian who said to me, “I am sorry I accepted Christ as my Savior; it wasn’t worth it!” No, you will never find a believer who will talk like that, for God always hears and always answers a sinner who calls on Him.
Referring to cars, I have met many people who were dissatisfied after buying a particular make of car, and they wish they had never bought it, because they had so much trouble with it. But those who trust in Christ will never be disappointed!
