[00:00:00] The Call To Be Unashamed by Dr. Michael Youssef The key verse to understand the entire epistle of Romans is found in Romans 1.16. Here Paul declares that he is not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation
[00:00:25] for everyone who believes. Today the reason so many churches are blessing so-called same-sex marriages, neglecting the call to evangelism, approving other paths to God, and preaching self-help instead of the doctrines of sin and salvation is because they have not taken
[00:00:44] this verse to heart. They are ashamed of the gospel, so they change it and redefine it, blunting the two-edged sword of God's word and deactivating its power. And our society is reaping the consequences.
[00:01:00] My friend, the call on your life and mine is to remain unashamed of the gospel, to lovingly lift high the truth of our Savior and to trust Him with our lives. All of us will, at
[00:01:13] one time or another, be tempted to hide our light under a basket. In fact, as you seek to serve and witness for Christ more and more, this temptation will become even stronger. Satan will try to convince you that it is not worth the effort. Christians stand firm in
[00:01:30] that evil day. Remember that it is the gospel that breaks the iron yoke of sin, shatters the chains of addiction, and flings open the heavy gates of darkness. May God grant us each the grace and understanding to remain unashamed.
[00:01:49] Let's pray together. Father, forgive us for the times when we have been afraid to speak your truth. Help us to exercise faith and lovingly and boldly share the gospel. Let us not be ashamed of your good news. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
