Boldness to Share the Most Important News
A hurting world needs to hear the good news of abundant life in Christ.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
– Romans 1:16 ESV
The gospel is a message of hope, a transformative power that changes lives. It is not just a set of beliefs; it is the living Word of God, breathed into existence by the Almighty Himself.
When the early believers faced challenges and opposition, they sought strength through prayer. In Acts 4:29, they cried out to God saying, “And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness” (ESV). Like them, you too can ask God for courage and boldness to talk about the truth of Christ and what He has done and continues to do.
Let go of any fear, doubt or hesitation that holds you back from proclaiming the good news. Embrace the truth that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
The gospel is a message of redemption, grace and love that transforms lives and brings hope to a weary world.
As you think about these words in Acts, picture yourself filled with boldness, standing unashamedly in the light of the gospel illuminating the darkness. You can share this message with others, whether through your words, actions or simply by living a life that reflects the love of Christ.
Let the Holy Spirit guide your interactions with those around you, infusing your conversations with grace and truth and empowering you to share the Good News of Christ whenever an opportunity arises. Be intentional about living out Romans 1:16, for the power of God’s salvation is available to everyone who believes.
