I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. —Romans 1:16.
For the rich and poor, young and old, weak and strong, thin and heavy, there is still just one message, one name, and one story that makes the eternal difference. It’s the good news of Jesus—the gospel. That one message, story, and name are announced in the gospel—God’s good news to the world in Jesus Christ. God’s good news of life in Jesus Christ is the story, message, and hope for us all. As Paul the apostle tells the Galatians:
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26-28).
We must not be, cannot be, and will never be ashamed of the gospel because it is the power to bring people to salvation in Jesus and bring us together as God’s family.
