«For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.» Romans 1:16
Paul was not afraid to preach! Paul was not ashamed to speak about Jesus. The joy and the gratitude that Paul felt for having met Jesus one day and for having received His love were so great that he wished that as many people as possible would also truly know this love.
Paul was evil before he met Jesus. Do you remember what Paul did? He would beat, hurt and arrest good people.
But when any bad person meets Jesus and accepts to be His friend, Jesus transforms them. A thief, a liar, a murderer can be transformed into a kind and loving person who loves God and his neighbor.
What happened to Paul was very beautiful! And what God does in the lives of all the people who accept to be friends with Jesus is also beautiful!
Let’s practice!
Repeat the verse: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ” (Romans 1:16).
