| "For I am not ashamed 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." - Romans 1:16
"For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel." - 1 Corinthians 9:16
If we ask the question around, 'What is the most important goal for you in life?', we can expect different answer mostly all surrounding the different needs in life. Apostle Paul, after his conversion on the road to Damascus, had a totally repurposed goal in life that he was willing to die for it. In fact, he freely died for the cause of preaching the gospel of Christ. Apostle Paul preached the gospel everywhere he went. He looked for a synagogue first to preach to the Jews, and openly to the Gentiles of the city. Once he knew the truth, he was not ashamed to preach Jesus Christ. The crucified Jesus and His resurrection is the heart of the gospel message. Have you put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? And if you have been a believer, do you preach Jesus to others? Apostle Paul said, "I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.". May God give us a similar passion and zeal to preach the truth to others.
Praise the Lord!
