Running head: BIBLE TO ROMANS
Look with me in your Bible to Romans chapter 1, and we’re going to be looking at verses 16 and
17 tonight. Let me read these two verses to you.
Paul says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For in it is the
righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith”.

1BIBLE TO ROMANS
INTRODUCTION
Now it is believed that this two particular rhyme from the classical act and the hypothesis
obtained from the poems. In broad, impressive and comprehensive manner the communication
has been well elaboarted in accordance with the nature of truth. It is a statement made form the
great Jesus Christ. Paul starts claiming that “he is not at all ashamed of the communicated made
by the great Jesus Christ” and then expresses it in brief terms within two verses.
All the well-known educated religionists and the philosophers of the Paul does not scare Paul at
all. They did not scare him either in Athens or in Corinth, neither in Ephesus or in Jerusalem or
they won’t be able to scare him here.
He is proud of the teaching lead by great Jesus Christ. He is very happy with the entitlement of
the announcement. He is really very anxious to proclaim great Jesus Christ. It is a kind of pitch
block for the Jew and that of foolishness of the entire community. The power of the God still
relies in the gospel until the preservation of the believers and Paul will not hesitate to preach it.
St. Paul and Silas were in Philipp as they were chased out of Thessalonica. It was Berea through
which it has been smuggled. In Athens civilians used to laugh at Paul. In the Cornith Paul was
addressed as a fool. In Jerusalem he was considered as a nuisance. In Galatia Paul was addicted
to drugs. Though he was able to sermonize the gospel at Rome it is very incredible.

2BIBLE TO ROMANS
I consider that each individual of us will be recognized as Paul but the fact is that for each and
every individual whether it is you or me is not proud of the teachings of the great Jesus Christ. I
believe that we will not either confess that that is the only way that actually works out. As it was
a time that when we had an opportunity to speak but we did not spoke, when we had the
opportunity to be bold we did not went bold.
Not to be shame is a signature to be bold and to announce un-doubtfully to address great Jesus
Christ. As of any individual who need to be effective has to stand in that particular position.
Let’s face the reality which is a very practical word for the society. Each and every individual for
at least once faced the event of being shamed because of addressing himself or herself or
comparing with the great Jesus Christ.
Although we are uncomfortable we are afraid of the fact that we might be rejected even we were
even afraid that we would fall short to deliver enough words. However, we were not about to live
our lifestyle in a manner we used to if we would have said about great Jesus Christ.
So being it in school, or in social engagement or at work places, we always have been shame of
speaking about the great Jesus Christ. I got many scope in my life to address the great Jesus
Christ but I did not even uttered a single word. I believe that I could have at least said a single
word. We always are in constant fear of worry and fear of reputation because of the strong faith
in existence of the great Jesus-Christ.

3BIBLE TO ROMANS
However if we are to serve the great Jesus- Christ there is an immense need to overcome with the
situation of embarrassment and constant fear.
Paul well understood the circumstances of those who have faced such difficulty in addressing the
great Jesus-Christ. Because of the gospel he died but never felt shame because of the great Jesus-
Christ. Paul in this phase states that “He is not at all ashamed of the gospel of the great Jesus-
Christ, Now that why Paul was bold? He was bold because of preach.
1 THE SOURCE OF THE GOSPEL. -it is the gospel of Christ
We understand that what it is like to be embarrass someone or ashamed. Infact it even hurts more
when it feels like someone is feeling odd because of you. We can understand the emotion of
shame and embarrassment whichever the side may be.
Paul links the word with the gospel. The message that address the great Jesus-Christ. He turns
around and says that “He is not shame of the gospel, why would he do that. Even why there is a
need to state that he is shame because of the gospel”.
I can even imagine few things that make us feel awkward or shame because of the gospel.

4BIBLE TO ROMANS
Sometimes normal things like the Christians and the church argues among themselves and make
us feel embarrass. It is true that the Christians do not serve and act like the great Jesus-Christ
used to be. Very often the burden of shame and blame is given upon the gospel.
Even though sometime we embarrass ourselves. We understand the difference between the
gospel and the quality and kind of life that we lead. Hence, we stand nowhere near the great
Jesus-Christ. We are quiet because of our very own sins.
Because of misunderstand in the message of the gospel, it is not regarding us, it is about the great
Jesus-Christ. We should be guilt be guilt because of our own corporate failure and personal
failures.
The gospel itself in nature embarrass us. We live in an environment where the world exerts a
priority on tolerance and open mindedness.
In fact it does. I am like the truth and the life. No one come near to father but by me. The great
Jesus-Christ insisted. “No such other identity is stated among the other men, whereby we must
be saved” preached by Peter. That is not a very famous message that states that spiritual
convictions should not be among the intelligent individuals.
It was because of the source that Paul was not ashamed of the gospel. It is the gospel of great
Jesus-Christ. This is addressed as great news of god. The wise men of the earth are not the

5BIBLE TO ROMANS
inventor of such. The rich and politically powerful men’s did not set it in trend. It was a direction
and message of god.
It was because of the source of the gospel that Paul was not even ashamed of it.
2. THE STRENGTH OF THE GOSPEL- it is the power of God
When we think of the power we address the sound of a powerful engine or the blast of the bomb.
It was in August 1945, that the US drop its first nuclear bomb over the Hiroshima and later on
Nagasaki. Everything was spoiled and lead to death of millions of people that is something
known as power.
It was in the year 2017, that the hurricane Irma took place in TCI. It is very obvious that it is
power, a power one of a kind but it is not the only kind. It is not the greatest thing as it can only
take power but cannot give life. It can destroy everything but cannot provide a proper direction.
This is the exact message that Paul found in the preaching of the great Jesus-Christ and this is the
gospel that can change a person life towards a good path. Paul believe in fact that the gospel
carries such fact with the supremacy of god.
Men desire to change and did you ever wonder why it is the advertisement that takes place and is
very common. The advertisement conveys message such that they want to look better, feel better,
think better, and have better experiences. They want to adopt a new lifestyle. There is such need

6BIBLE TO ROMANS
of change because it is very common nature of human world. They need the change but they are
too weak to bring about the required changes within the society,.
In Jeremiah 13:23 it is claimed by Jeremiah that, “Does the leopard has the ability to change its
spot that exists in the body?”, “Can the Ethiopian undertake the change in the skin?”, There is
much like chance of changing a heart. Men’s cannot change they can modify a requirement and
reuse it but they fail to bring about the required changes within the society.
In chapter 26 of the Mathew, the great lord Jesus-Christ was son trial, you should recall the fact
that Peter was hung around the courtyard, the rest of the followers has left him and ran away. In
the phase of 56, it states that they were ashamed that they were with Peter. They were afraid of
their life too. When great Jesus-Christ was captured each and every one ran away as of fear that
their life will be on too much risk.
Peter should had been a little stronger but when the final test was about to happen. According to
the verse of 69, three times he had been lying to Jesus and three times he had been denying to
know him. Thereafter, he began to curse and claim that he do not know Jesus. Soon a cock crows
and he remembered that once Jesus said him that he is going to deny the great Jesus about three
times. Hearing that he went out sadly.
How terrible and how awkward it is, how crud and how unworthy it is to treat the great Jesus-
Christ so. It is an act of negative sin to lie so. We must not have been afraid or cursed the denied

7BIBLE TO ROMANS
association. In fact we might have been afraid and ashamed of the great Jesus-Christ at some
point of time at a particular place. How sad it is.
According to the chapter 2, of the Peter Pentecost in Act standing with the courage and dignity
states to the whole community of Jerusalem for betraying the great Jesus-Christ.
He calls for regret and soon three thousands of them get converted to Christ. Peter was
transformed because of the power of the god.
The very reason why Paul is not overcome by temptation of being ashamed of the gospel. Paul
believes that the primary passion was to observe to see men being saved.
Paul never gave importance to his personal comfort, neither did he care to look after the
reputation, he did not even care to look after the popularity, and even that his life did not even
offered a compromise. Paul followed and preach the gospel because he had faith in the gospel
that what it could do. It could change the people.
Never should you nor should I take interest in fact of being ashamed of gospel. As it is a means
of power by the God.
3. THE SCOPE OF THE GOSPEL -for all who believes

8BIBLE TO ROMANS
It was because of the implications for which Paul was not at all ashamed. It was because of the
God’s power, it is the faith, the faith upon which we survive. The faith is a seal of trust. It is a
means of trust and faith that God will save us but God takes care of only those who believes in.
Believe in what? The believe should take place within the heart as of the fact that it was God that
raised him from the dead. He claimed that for a reason he died and later again he woke up from
the grave. Each and every individual who believes has a faith.
Paul was not shame because of the gospel and so should we. It is the source which address it as
the gospel of the Christ, it is the strength for which it is the power of the God, and because of the
possibilities that all believes in. It was not limited in few hands to those who are rich and
powerful. It simply did not provide hope to the one who have figured out the very purpose of the
life.
This message was not about regarding the good people and the bad people. The people who are
not of much importance are not banned from the blessings. The promises are not bound to human
perfections or performance but it is the trust regarding what the great Jesus-Christ has done for
us. This is the blessing of the god that is for each and every individual.
4. THE SECRET OF THE GOSPEL-it reveals the righteousness of God.
Finally, because of the secrets that stays in the gospel Paul was not ashamed. The gospel speaks
about the power of God and what is right or wrong. This message conveys that how a hold God

9BIBLE TO ROMANS
can spare a criminal individual from the sins. How such act is done by the great God is not a
matter of question for us. It is not even regarding the fact that how good or how bad we are. It is
regarding how a courageous God gave his only son for the cause and sins of ours.
The gospel possess the power to save anyone from the negative deeds and sins if one believes in.
When there is faith in God, God seems to take place for you and remember the history that
Abraham-Lincoln used to have faith in God.
You can see that if I am to be right then I have nothing of my own. God must give me the
righteous and he always does so. You can clearly observe because of our sin the great Jesus-
Christ gave up his righteousness. This is very reason why it is being claimed that we are the
righteousness of the great God he became the sins of our deeds.
It is a very positive thing to stand up for a thing. It is not be considered into favourable account
to preach the gospel is a negative account. We like Paul as from above we can have a clear
understanding that we have a good reason to speak with confidence about the scope, strength,
vales and nature of the gospel messages. But it is even great to be aware of the other prospect of
the coin.
Hebrews chapter 2 verse 10, it is preferable for him, it is the great Jesus–Christ that for whom all
the things and through whom all the things in bringing much of the sons to the glory, for the
perfection of the author, salvation through the sufferings.

10BIBLE TO ROMANS
The great Jesus-Christ is not guilt or ashamed to address us as their brothers. Do you believe that
there is something positive that comes to great Jesus-Christ by his association or by us? Does he
profit? Or such that it pulls his name downwards. The answer is yes for both the questionnaires.
There are multiple events and acts when we survive, act and speak to given honor to the name of
the great Jesus-Christ, and there are multiple events and acts when we survive, act and speak to
pull the name of the great Jesus-Christ.
Have you ever wondered that God is never ashamed to be addressed as God of ours? He is not
angry to be addressed as God of ours or yours. Let me put light to the fact that the God suffers a
lot to stay on our side. The number of scandal that took place and the conflicts in regard to the
church, pulling the name of the God in the negative aspects and yet the God is not angry for
pulling its name on our side. The fact that if God is not upset for addressing God as “Our God”
and if the great Jesus-Christ is not having any issue to address as our brother then how come we
be shame of who is not having any sign of sins.
Conclusion
No exist no particular reason for being ashamed and fear of the message that we believe in. We
should be proud the great God and never should be ashamed of the one to whom we worship and
ask for help in times of need. There is no such individual like the God. There exist no such hope
or message that predicts that there is a better promise than this.
Thereby with confidence we can state that “I am not shame of the gospel as it is the power of the
great god unto salvation to everyone who had faith on him. The righteous will exist by faith.

11BIBLE TO ROMANS

12BIBLE TO ROMANS
So no matter as whether it is crushing interminably or within school or within social contacts, we
all in all every now and then have been embarrassed to examine Christ. There have been
occasions for an astonishing length when I have needed to address Christ. We all have cultivated
the dreading ejection, embarrassment, stressing over ascertaining the position, our notoriety in
risk surrendered a solid conflicted with perceiving proof with the inspiring news of the Jesus-
Christ.
Regardless, if we are feasible in respecting the Lord, we will get as where we triumphed over
that fear, disfavour, and embarrassment whatever may be.
Paul appreciated the disdain and the slander of the people who rejected Christ. He went up
against passing itself for the gospel, anyway not even once did he end up humiliated about
Christ. In this manner Paul in these stanzas articulates unequivocally, 'I am not humiliated about
the uplifting news of Christ… .. Directly, for what reason was Paul striking? Likewise, here's the
key. For what reason would he say he was exceptional?
1. THE GOSPEL SOURCE- The Christ gospel
We understand what it looks like to be embarrassed or to mortify someone
(gatekeepers/priests/lawmakers). In progressively significant conditions it hurts when someone
acts like they are humiliated about you or to be seen with you. We can appreciate the sentiment
of disfavour and disgrace on whichever side we have been on.
Here Paul associates that word with the Gospel- - the message about Jesus. By and by, he turns it
around. He says, "I am not humiliated about the Gospel." Why may he make the affiliation? For
what reason would it say it was imperative to attempt and state he was unashamed of the Gospel?

13BIBLE TO ROMANS
I can consider several things that are all over mortifying and can even reason us to finish up
humiliated about the Gospel.
Now and again the silly things that Christians and spots of love fight over embarrass us. It is
grievous anyway apparent that Christians don't for the most part act like Christ toward each
other. Normally Christ gets the blame, and we progress toward becoming humiliated about the
Gospel.
A portion of the time we embarrass ourselves. We know the distinction between the Gospel and
the lives we live. We understand we don't measure up concerning what the Lord merits. We are
quieted by our bad behaviour.
Regardless, these two components make from a confusion of the Gospel message. It isn't about
us. It is about Christ. We should be mortified by our corporate and individual frustration. Be that
as it may, the Gospel stands real despite when we don't have the foggiest idea/unfaithful.
The very Gospel itself on occasion mortifies us. We experience an everyday reality with the end
goal that puts a need on obstruction and openness, singular choices. To such a general public, the
gospel sounds certain and uncompromising.

14BIBLE TO ROMANS
Without a doubt, it does. "I am the way reality and life. No one goes to the Father yet by me,"
Jesus requested. "No other name is given among men whereby we ought to be saved," Peter
addressed. That isn't a very acclaimed message in a world that requests that insightful people
must not have supernatural emotions.
Most of this was likewise as legitimate for Paul's existence a similar measure of as in our own.
Maybe more so! None the less, he says, 'I am not humiliated." Why? What did he understand that
we don't? What enabled him to stand up so powerfully for the message of Christ? Notice what he
tells us. He isn't humiliated about the gospel for comparative reasons we shouldn't be.
He was not humiliated about the Gospel because of its source. It is the uplifting news of Christ.
This is God's elevating news. Keen men didn't envision it. Rich and persuasive men didn't set it
in motion. This is God's message.
For what reason was Paul unashamed of the gospel? Paul was unashamed of the gospel because
of the wellspring of the gospel.
2. THE GOSPEL STRENGTH- The power of God
When we think about control, we consider the effect of a bomb or the roar of an engine.
In August of 1945, the US dropped the essential nuclear bombs over Hiroshima and after that
Nagasaki. Everything was smashed for miles. Thousands upon thousands were killed. That is
control.

15BIBLE TO ROMANS
In 2017, ocean storm Irma roared transversely over TCI. Much decimation. Emphatically, that is
control. That is the force of one kind. It's by all record, by all account, not the only kind. It isn't
even the best kind. Such power can butcher. Be that as it may, it can't give life. It can obliterate.
In any case, it can't give direction.
Likewise, that is really what Paul found in the message of Jesus. Moreover, that is the gospel can
change a person's life for good- - for good! Along these lines, Paul has as a principle need the
way that the uplifting news of Christ passes on with it the amazingness of God.
Men may energetic for change, do you understand that reality? I believe that reality. Incredibly,
the publicizing that goes on the planet relies upon one presupposition, and that person's need
thing, not equivalent to they appear. They have to look better and feel much enhanced,
additionally, think better, have better experiences. They have to change them. In a general sense,
people need to transform them. There is an interest that since that is a crucial human drive.
Moreover, where it tallies inside people, they need things to show up as something different. Be
that as it may, they are absolutely frail to change the things.
In Jeremiah 13:23, it is guaranteed by Jeremiah, "would a puma change his spot? Can the
Ethiopian attempt an adjustment in his skin?" You have an essentially as much chance to
embrace a difference within the heart. In the earth men are weak. They cannot total a solitary
things with regard to what are they. They cannot change nay of the thing. Benevolent, might
make a few changes all finished and worked to some degree better. Notwithstanding, authentic
changes never happen.

16BIBLE TO ROMANS
In Matthew segment 26 of the bible state that, our beloved Lord Jesus was on primer, as well as
in the midst of the fundamental, you'll remember Peter remained adjacent the porch, whatever
remains of the students has relinquished him and fled away, they all have been humiliated to be
recognized. They were altogether mortified just as they were sincerely troubled for their life.
Additionally, when Jesus was captured, they continued running as snappy and to the degree, they
could get into disguising since they weren't going to put their life remaining in a precarious
situation which exhibits the weakness of their commitment.
Subside potentially fairly more grounded than they remained close-by at a detachment.
Regardless, when the test came in this very incredible record, you review the result for begin in
stanza 69, three times he denied Christ, on numerous occasions he lied, instead of being
identified with Jesus Christ. Furthermore, after that he began to chide and swear, I don't have the
foggiest thought regarding the man and Peter also remembers the sentence which the beloved
Jesus has expressed,
How appalling, how dreadful, how frail, how wanton, how rude to treat our beloved Christ so. In
any case, regardless of what we all who treasures the Lord Jesus Christ has had our minutes
when we may have spoken to Christ and ignored. We probably won't have censure, yet we all
have been humiliated or alarmed of the beloved Jesus-Christ at some point of time or another in
some spot in the long run. Besides, that is inauspicious. That is terrible.

17BIBLE TO ROMANS
In any case, when you read of Peter upon the entry of Pentecost in Acts area 2 remaining solid
with quality and valor and conviction in an undaunted soul, and he denounces the whole
individuals of Jerusalem for murdering the Lord of enormity. Besides, he addresses Christ and
Him executed, and he addresses the rebuilding, and he addresses the judgment of God with the
objective that the all-inclusive community yell out and state, "What will we do?"
Also, he requires an expression of remorse and three thousands of them are changed over to
Christ. Lessen was changed by the power of God from being humiliated about Christ to being a
solid broadcaster of the Christ who was at one time a mortification to him and an explanation
behind fear.
So Paul couldn't have thought less about his comfort. He couldn't have thought less about his
reputation. He couldn't have thought less about his noticeable quality, and even his life offered
no exchange off to a sensible faced gospel. Paul would address the gospel since he fathomed
what it could do. It could change people.
Additionally, you should never, and nor should I, consider being humiliated about the uplifting
news of Christ, for it is the force of God.
3. THE GOSPEL SCOPE- for those who believe in
Paul was not humiliated about the Gospel because of its augmentation. It was the power
that stays in the hand of God till salvation for each and everyone who what? "Trusts." That is a
certainty, and we live by certainty always. Certainty is trust. It is trusting and tolerating, and yes
the force of God can save. Be that as it may, it will save only the people who acknowledge.

18BIBLE TO ROMANS
Acknowledge what? Place stock in the heart that God had raised him from death. That infers that
you believe He is who he said he was, that he kicked the pail on purpose. He said he passed on
and that he climbed again from the grave and all who believes that are saved. "For by
magnificence would you say you are saved through - "what? " - Confidence, that not of
yourselves. It's an enrichment of God, not of works if any man should boast."
In this way, Paul was unashamed of the gospel in this manner should we - given its source-it is
the uplifting news of Christ, in light of its quality it is the force of God, by its degree for all who
acknowledges. It wasn't compelled to the rich or the stunning. It didn't just offer to need to the
people who recently had life comprehends.
This message wasn't for good people versus terrible people. Unimportant people weren't
prohibited from their favours. This is the force of God for everyone who acknowledges. Its
assurances are not associated with our execution or our faultlessness, yet our trust in what Jesus
enhanced the circumstance us.
4. THE GOSPEL SECRET- It reveals the righteousness of God
Finally, Paul was not humiliated about the Gospel was given its riddle. The gospel, he
says, reveals the decency of God. This message elucidates the secret of how a model and
glorious God can recognize and pardon foul and unholy people. How might he do it? It isn't
about us using any means. It isn't about how incredible we are or even how hard we endeavour.
It is about how an excellent God gave his single produced kid to be the creation of revises
retribution for our bad behaviours.

19BIBLE TO ROMANS
The uplifting news of Christ can save any person who acknowledges. When you trust, the
commendable idea of God transforms into yours. Remember Abraham confided in God; it was
counted to him for respectability.
If I am going to be impartial, I have none of my own. God must yield my genuineness. Also, He
does. Jesus transgression, consequently, God gave us model nature. This is the reason it
guarantees that Christ pushed toward getting to be sin for us that we may transform into the
commendable idea of God in Him.
It is perfect to speak to something. It is an extraordinary plan to remain unshaken and unashamed
of the Gospel message. We, like Paul, have a legitimate defence to converse with conviction
about the source, the quality, the expansion and the riddle of the Gospel message. Regardless, it
is by a wide margin better than know the contrary side of the coin.
Jews segment two stanzas 10, "It fitted for Him...that is Christ...for who are all things and
through whom are everything in passing on different adolescents to brightness, to consummate
the producer of salvation through the sufferings.
Jesus Christ isn't hesitant to call us His kin. May I prescribe to you, ought it by any possibility to
be proposed, that He has every inspiration to be humiliated about us?
Does the favorable position by that? Or on the other hand, does that will when all is said in done
drag His name down? The best possible response is yes on the two tallies.
In any case, what overpowers me is paying little regard to our transgression and disappointment,
Christ isn't reluctant to call us family. How on the planet may we be skilled ever to be mortified
to call Him kinfolk and He is without blame?

20BIBLE TO ROMANS
Did you comprehend God isn't reluctant to be addressed as my God? He is not reluctant to be
addresses as your God. He is not reluctant to be known as God of any individual he/she who is
happy to proceed with their lives for his importance. Furthermore, dear, attempt to keep your top
on, He continues on through a great deal by being related to us, isn't that right? An extensive
number of shock after mortification through the chronicled landscape of the array, stretching the
respected name of the God into the negative aspects, yet then God in His sweet attentiveness and
straightforwardness isn't hesitant to be known as the God of those that bear His name.
Additionally, if God isn't hesitant to be called our God and on the off chance that Christ isn't
reluctant to call us family, by then how might we have the capacity to be embarrassed about Him
who is without bad behavior?
Conclusion
There is no inspiration to be humiliated/horrendous/easygoing of the message we
acknowledge. We should never be humiliated about the Lord we respect. There is none like him.
There is no message with increasingly vital desire or favoured certifications over his.
So we likewise can say with conviction. "I am unashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of
God unto salvation to everyone who believes...For in it is revealed the goodness of God from
certainty to certainty, "The upstanding will live by certainty".
