Unashamed of the Gospel | Romans 1:16-17
Monday, 19 January, 2026
When the Bible speaks of being ashamed, it is more than just a feeling of humiliation or embarrassment. It refers to public dishonor and a loss of dignity. Perhaps you have had a moment or two like that, where you have been truly ashamed, not just embarrassed or humiliated, but publicly dishonored and stripped of dignity. Maybe it was something you once did, something you are doing, or something done to you.There are plenty of things in this world that we could be ashamed of, but there is one thing that we, as believers, must absolutely not be ashamed of: the gospel of Jesus Christ. What we see in these verses is that living a life truly unashamed of the gospel frees us from our shame and allows us to live wholly devoted to and focused on Christ because of all He has done for us. May we stand with Paul and say, “I am not ashamed of the gospel.”BIG IDEA: Followers of Jesus must be unashamed of the gospel.What is the Gospel?The good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world to save sinners from eternal death and give eternal life, both now and forever.I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel (16a)Why Would I Be Ashamed of the Gospel? • The gospel creates opponents • The gospel brings suffering • The gospel affects relationshipsI Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel for Everyone (16b)I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Faith (17)
