“…I AM NOT ASHAMED (epaischunomaito: a feeling of fear which prevents a person from doing something) OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” (Rom. 1:16-17) Rabbi Simla noted that Moses gave 365 prohibitions and 248 positive commands. David reduced them to eleven commands in (Psalm 15); Isaiah made them six (Isaiah 33:14-15); Micah bound them into three (Micah 6:8); and Habakkuk condensed them all to one, (Habakkuk 2:4) “The righteous shall live by faith”
Living by faith activates the power of God to work in our lives. So, we never have to be ashamed to live and share the gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.
WE WILL BE LIVING THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION…
