Cheering without Shame!

9/22/2014

0 Comments

 
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.  For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed - a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.'" -Romans 1:16-17 (NIV)
Many of us have favorite sports teams.  We are fans and cheer our teams, even when they aren't having the best season.  As a Pirates fan, there were many years when the team wasn't achieving success, but I still heard people say, "I will always be a Pirates fan, no matter how bad they are."  Many people identify with a team and continue to cheer, without shame or embarrassment.

In the end, the sports teams that we root for don't hold any real power.  Our lives continue with or without their success.  In contrast to the teams we cheer for, the Gospel holds real, life-changing power, but we are sometimes hesitant to discuss it.  As Christians, we should be cheering for and promoting the Gospel with a passion that exceeds our commitment to cheering for our team.   We shouldn't be ashamed to be fans of the Gospel.  It won't have losing seasons.  It won't have ups and downs.  It does hold the key to eternal life!

Be a fan and not ashamed of the life-changing power of the Gospel!


Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me the Gospel and its assurance of eternal life with You.  Help me to be a fan that will help others see the message of Salvation in the Gospel.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
