“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16).
Spreading the gospel in Rome was not a very popular thing to do at this time. It took courage to be bold in one’s witness. Paul, the writer of Romans, wasn’t ashamed to share the good news of the gospel because he knew it was God’s powerful method of saving a perishing people. Yes, to the Jew first. This was Paul’s practice. But also to the Greeks. God extends His message of salvation to all nations. Paul felt it a privilege to carry that message, knowing people would be saved if they embraced it. We should have the same attitude as we take it wherever we go. It is the same message our missionaries have carried for years. It is one we should pray will continue to go out, first at home, then onto the uttermost parts of the earth. There are still people who need to hear the gospel message. Are you willing to carry it?
