Not Ashamed

Can you truly say you are "not ashamed of the gospel of Christ?" Sometimes in this War it can be difficult to speak up for God, and sometimes we can feel embarrassed or unsure of how to tell others about Him. But this really should not be the case for us! Not only are we soldiers whose mission is to tell the Gospel no matter what the cost, here are a few more reasons why we should never be ashamed of the gospel of Christ.

• It is the power of God unto Salvation to everyone that believes. 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)
• The righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith.  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17)
• It can bring glory to God. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. (1st Peter 4:16)
• God is able to keep us for eternity. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)
• God has given us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; (2 Timothy 1:7-8) 

So be bold, fellow Christian! There may not be much time left, and "woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel" (1 Corinthians 9:16).
