Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

In order for us not to be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have to make no reputation of ourselves. According to Philippians 2:7, Jesus did not make a reputation for himself.

(Philippians 2:7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.)

When we make no reputation for ourselves, we position ourselves to do more for the Kingdom of God. When we make no reputation for ourselves, we can literally pray for a random person whose leg is in a cast at a public restaurant without being embarrassed or feeling awkward. We can stop to give a walking stranger a ride to their destination without feeling scared or nervous. Most importantly, we can speak to friends, relatives, and strangers about Jesus Christ without caring about being labeled “religious” or a “Jesus freak.” We should take the chains off our minds and stop giving people the power to control the actions God desires from us. We are the body of Christ and we must do the work of the Lord in the earth. Never be ashamed of gospel.
