Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Since the days of Paul, there has been a temptation to be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why? Because it didn’t make sense to believe that this carpenter’s Son was the Messiah. The temptation to be ashamed may be even greater now than it was back then.

Through the introduction of scientology, recently discovered historical facts, and the popularity of no belief, it takes an even bolder person to not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Christians have been called everything from simple-minded beings to slaves of the “white man’s religion” based on our beliefs. It doesn’t make sense to believe that a man, born of a virgin, died for everyone’s sins. People often fear the things they don’t understand.

As new information arises to diminish the truth of Jesus Christ, it’s time for believers to be unashamed and bolder about the gospel. Our boldness of Jesus Christ may be the push an unbeliever needs to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So pray in public, praise in public, and let the world know where our blessings come from. Our boldness may be a person’s last chance to receive salvation.
