What does the Bible say about being ashamed of the gospel?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible, specifically Romans 1:16, states that we should not be ashamed of the gospel, as it is the power of God for salvation.

In Romans 1:16, Paul declares, 'For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.' This assertion emphasizes the significance of the gospel, which is centered on Jesus Christ's redemptive work. When believers embrace the gospel, they acknowledge its truth and the transformative power it holds, which stands in stark contrast to the world's disdain for Christ. To be ashamed of the gospel is to neglect the very means by which God saves sinners and to reject His divine authority over our lives. True believers recognize the gospel not as a source of embarrassment but as the foundation of their hope and identity.
