“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.” — Romans 1:16 (NKJV)

As a new month begins, it is an opportunity to reaffirm our faith and commitment to Christ. Paul’s words in Romans 1:16 remind us of a foundational truth: the gospel is powerful, and we should never be ashamed of it.

The world around us often tries to silence the message of Jesus. We may face criticism, rejection, or even persecution for standing firm in our faith. Yet, Paul boldly declares that he is not ashamed of the gospel. Why? Because it is the power of God for salvation—the only way for people to be redeemed and transformed.

The gospel is not just a set of religious beliefs; it is life-changing power. It breaks chains, restores hope, and brings eternal life to everyone who believes. No one is excluded—whether Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, young or old—salvation is available to all.

As we step into this new month, let’s ask ourselves:

• Am I bold in sharing my faith, or do I shrink back in fear?

• Do I truly believe in the life-transforming power of the gospel?

• How can I live unashamedly for Christ in my daily life?

May we walk confidently, knowing that the gospel we carry is not something to hide but something to proclaim with joy. Let’s live boldly, love deeply, and share the truth without fear—because the power of God is at work in us and through us.

Go forth in faith—unashamed, unwavering, and unstoppable in Christ!

Prayer:

Father, thank You for the power of the gospel that brings salvation to all who believe. Give me boldness to share my faith without fear or shame. Let this new month be a time of renewed passion for Your Word and a deeper commitment to spreading Your message. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
