Romans 1: 16 - 17
16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is God’s powerful method of bringing all who believe it to heaven. This message was preached first to the Jews alone, but now everyone is invited to come to God in this same way. 17 This Good News tells us that God makes us ready for heaven—makes us right in God’s sight—when we put our faith and trust in Christ to save us. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scripture says it, “The man who finds life will find it through trusting God.”
Are you ashamed of preaching the gospel? Why should you be? Apostle Paul says the word of God is a powerful method of bringing all who believes in to heaven. Don’t we all want that for our family and friends? Then why are you ashamed? Why does it matter that they’ll judge you or call you names? Your own is to plant the seed, leave the Holy Spirit to water it and it will grow. You are not God; you cannot change their heart. But you can pray that He will.
Your relationships will become healthier once people know and
believe in God. It won’t be about fighting everyday or lying because those
are not fruits of the Spirit. Sharing the good news is not just for God, it’s
for your own benefit too. So that you may have a fruitful, pleasant, abundant life,
just as God Himself intended. Just think about that peace that will flow
when everyone around you is on the same wavelength of God. You don’t have
to read your bible in private or wait till you get to church to pray because
all your friends are with you on the same faith. So next time you find yourself
struggling to tell that friend more about your love for God, let this
verse come to mind and be empowered by it.
Till next time,
Peace & love,
Thea xx
