THE POWER OF GOD
Read Romans 1 The Righteousness of God revealed
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. (Romans 1:16 NKJV)
Are there occasions where you feel and acted unashamedly in public or careless of what others would think and speak? I recalled an occasion when I had great pain after an appendectomy and mom pleaded with the doctor to do something to help. She disregarded all others around as she acted as a issue of life and death. For Paul to him, he was unashamed when it comes to the preaching of the Gospel.
First, it's the message of power of God for salvation. Paul recognised the change in his life cannot help but will share the difference. He witnessed the grace and mercy of God. He was once living by the law and persecuted the Christians. It works for our salvation, justification and sanctification. Power removes all shame. A dynamite that brought miracles, change life. He saw the effect of it. It changes ones life direction. Many can testify the change of their lives.
it's all-encompassing scope both to Jews and Gentiles. For in Christ there is neither Jews nor Greeks. Male or female we are all one in Him. Indeed, the Gospel brings not only reconciliation between God and man but with one another. How blessed that we are entrusted with this ministry of reconciliation.
Prayer: Lord, Your Gospel is the most and greatest message of hope and power to the world. I can never be ashamed think of those lost in consequences.
