When fewer and fewer people in our culture accept the idea of absolute truth, it can be difficult to proclaim, “Jesus is Lord.” So how can believers echo the apostle Paul’s words, “I am not ashamed of the gospel”? Alistair Begg unpacks the remainder of Paul’s statement in Romans 1, encouraging us to stand firm on the fact that the Gospel is the saving power of God, who reaches out to rescue all who trust in Jesus. Every person is in need of this expression of God’s justice and love.
16For dI am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is ethe power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew ffirst and also to gthe Greek. 17For in it hthe righteousness of God is revealed ifrom faith for faith,5 jas it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”6
