No Shame Allowed

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Romans 1:16-17 ESV

36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of His father and the holy angels.

Mark 8:36,38 ESV

The bible is our only earthly tool that is God-given and applies to yesterday, today and tomorrow. We have one shot on this earth and the gospel is the key to not only our salvation but the world’s. We can’t possibly hide our faith and believe that the Lord won’t call us out on it. Do not boast in your own wisdom but through faith and the living bible share the wisdom that was not yours but given to you from your Father. There is no shame to be had as a believer of Christ. So pick up your bible and know that being a steward of the good word is what we are called to do as His children.
