The Power of God

Scripture:

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes - the Jew first and also the Gentile".

Observation:

Paul is speaking to the Romans about bringing them the Good News. Just prior to this he says he feels he has a great obligation to get the message of the Good News to the entire world. Though he had been imprisoned, in trouble, in fierce persecutions, he was not ashamed of the Good News of Jesus because it is the power of God at work. The Good News = The Power of God at work.

Application:

Paul let's us know that the Good News is the power of God at work. Anytime we share the Good News with someone, the power of God is at work in that person. If we could just really believe this, we would be so much more prone to witness and share the Good News. The world is looking for something real and someone who can forgive their sins and make them feel better inside. When we share the Good News, God's power begin to work in that person. The Good News = the Power of God. I love it! Share the Good News and you are sharing something incredibly powerful. Share the Good News!

Prayer:

Lord, let me never be ashamed of the Good News of Christ. Let me carry this Good News to the ends of the earth. Help me prepare an army of Good News carriers who can fulfill the Great Commission You gave us. I want to see Your power and realize it is seen the greatest when the Good News is being shared. Work You will in my life and let me produce fruit that will last for Your kingdom.

I Love You Lord,

Jeff
