Devotion: No apologies

Rom 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”

The gospel is the power of salvation to every one. For people to come to Jesus, we need to preach it whether to individuals or groups.

Never feel ashamed or don’t be apologetic when you are sharing the gospel. Everyone needs the gospel regardless of their status in the world. Gospel needs to reach to all nations.

Therefore nobody should be excluded from the gospel. 2 Tim 1:8 “So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by God’s power accept your share of suffering for the gospel.”

Every believer must share the Gospel which is the good news to people who are lost. Don’t feel ashamed of your Christian good news. It is your opportunity. It may sound out of place, but its necessary. They may reject it but there is a seed you have planted that will germinate one day. Mark 8:36-38 ” For what benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his life? What can a person give in exchange for his life? For if anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Many secular popular people and celebrities that dont have Jesus may appear as if they get fun daily but they still feel they lack something which they don’t know. They feel empty. Most of them have gone an extra mile of using drugs to fill that emptiness but it still doesn’t get filled. All they need is the good news. They need Jesus. Jesus gives the satisfaction.He makes them rest. Mat 11:28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Don’t be ashamed of gospel. You have a better story to tell them than what they can tell you.

Prayer 
Dear father, thank you for entrusting me with the good news that I will preach to every body. I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of salvation. By your Spirit I have the better story which I will always bring to the lost. In Jesus Name. Amen
