Unashamed
Posted by Hillsong | Filed under devotion
Well it’s the day after conference and I’ve already creased my bookmark! I shouldn’t have put it in my pocket! It’s Saturday, so as per Robert’s reading plan I turned to Romans. This is the verse that stood out:
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
As I look to the next 6 months, the next thing on my heart is for us to be part of a youth ministry that is confident in sharing the Gospel, it’s why JAM 09 is UNITED for a city! And here the first verse I journal is a declaration: for I am not ashamed of the Gospel! It feels like such a confirmation in my spirit and also such a challenge!
It’s easy to think we should be unashamed, but is that what our actions indicate? Would it be evident to someone watching our lives that we are unashamed, and believe it is the power of God for people’s salvation? Do we share it with people?
It’s easy to let insecurity rob us of the joy it is to share the gospel with people. It’s easy to think we don’t know enough or to just be afraid of getting it wrong. But let’s live instead, looking for the opportunities to share the Gospel with our friends and see it’s power transform lives!
Father grant us boldness and courage to share your Gospel with others, and open our eyes to the opportunities that you bring our way, in Jesus name.
Much love,
