ROMANS 1

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 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 to the Greek.

PREACHING CHRIST IN A DANGEROUS PLACE

Paul loved to preach the gospel; his whole being was focused on sharing Christ.

Paul had been in a lot of dangerous places sharing the gospel, but here was the ultimate Lions den, Rome was the centre of the empire.

Paul did not shy away from preaching in this dangerous place and he certainly wasn’t ashamed of the Gospel, he knew that the gospel was the only hope not just for Rome but also for the whole world.

Maybe there is a difficult place to share the gospel in your town or city, maybe there is a neighbourhood that people seem to out of bounds, people say to you ‘ don’t go there, they won’t listen to you’.

You should reply to them as Paul did, I am ready to preach in the place because I know that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.

Go in that confidence, knowing that Jesus can and does save and transform lives.

Don’t be ashamed of the gospel; be prepared to share it, in season and out of season, every day and in every place.

God bless you
