I remember early on in my walk with God, I would be afraid to talk about My faith.  I’m guessing I thought people would think I’m not intelligent because I believe “those things”.  In essence I was ashamed of the gospel.  

How could I be ashamed of the very thing that rescued me from myself?  The power of pressure to conform in this world is great, but the gospel is greater!  It has the power to change our eternal destiny!  There reached a point where I finally understood that Jesus was my answer to every question.  I was now in love with Jesus and no longer ashamed of Him. 

Personal Reflection 

Are you living your life like you are ashamed of the gospel’s impact in your life?  Do others around you know that you are a follower of Jesus and lover of His gospel?   Get in His Word – it will change you! Maybe it’s time to have your mind fully grasp the truth and power of Jesus’ finished work at the cross.  Christ is now your righteousness.  As God looks at you He sees His beautiful Son.  Let that truth not be contained, but burst forth that it may produce bountiful fruit abundantly!

Prayer Focus

Father, we thank You for the amazing gift of salvation through Your Son. Your ways are perfect and true.  May we never be afraid of sharing the truth of Your word that brings life.  What can man do to us, for we are Your children now. You have sealed this promise with the Holy Spirit.  All glory to You in the name of Jesus, Amen!
