God should be our source of hope, joy, and peace. There is joy and peace in resting in the hope of the gospel and unabashedly bringing others to know the truth, too.

We can be quick to share good news in our lives, or of something we think has helped make our lives better, but how quickly do we share the Gospel?

Are the words of Christ readily on our lips?

What do you do with Jesus? Is He your Lord and Savior, or is He merely a ticket out of Hell? Do you let Him in to live or keep Him hidden away, nothing to talk about with others?

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.

God has saved us. HALLELUJAH!

Proclaim it boldly!

VerseD: 1 Corinthians 1:18

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Be ready for that. Do not be ashamed of sounding foolish. That is being ashamed of His saving work.

Be strong in the power of Christ.

VerseD: Romans 1:16

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.

Do not be intimidated with sharing the gospel or that you believe.

You should be ready to explain why you believe, but it is okay (as a young Christian, at least) to admit you are not entirely sure of all of the reasons.

Just share how you came to faith.
