Having A Love For The Gospel

“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)

Today’s Morsel:  Paul said that the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthains 15:1-4). He told the church at Rome, “… as it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” (Romans 10:15). Paul was not ashamed of the gospel. He was not ashamed to talk about Jesus Christ and the reason for His coming to the earth; the messages of salvation, holiness, grace, mercy, compassion, love, and spiritual death from sin. Paul understood by his revelation of truth from Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9), that there was something about the gospel that changed people. He knew that once we encounter Jesus and have an understanding and personal relationship with Christ, as he did, there was going to be a true change. We must not be ashamed of the gospel, or people will remain lost. The Great Commission requires us to share the gospel of Christ. You know who you were and what you did before you understood the gospel. But now that you have come to know it and understand it, it’s time to take it into the whole world.

Sing: I’m gonna lift-up the name of Jesus, I’m gonna sing of my joy since He came. I’m gonna tell of His power every day and every hour, I’m gonna lift-up that wonderful name.

Thought For Today: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Matthew 24:14)
