The Gospel
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 (ESV)
In modern times being a Christian has been a quiet walk, but the gospel is meant to be a loud pursuit. The gospel speaks volumes to those who choose to remain in their sin. The gospel puts backbone in a persecuted saint, it preaches words beyond the ability of any pulpit, it is power to the powerless, and that is louder than any evil-doer can shout.
The gospel is light in darkness, it is good news among bad news, it cannot be hidden or denied so as believers in Jesus Christ we ought not to shrink back in our testimony. Allow the gospel to simply shine.
Let’s pray today that we may be the gospel of Jesus Christ through our words and deeds.
