Romans

If we are not ashamed of Christ, he will deliver us from evil and lead us into life eternal.
Romans 1:
15 So, as much as in me is, I am aready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not aashamed of the bgospel of Christ: for it is the cpower of God unto dsalvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the arighteousness of God revealed bfrom faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by cfaith

Romans was a difficult book for me to choose a favorite statement from. However, I believe that the above three verses are the thesis statement for the rest of the book. Paul speaks of being willing to give everything he has to the work of our Father and His Son. He promises to not be ashamed of it and to live by faith. Then the rest of the book speaks of the blessing of peace and glory and honor that come from being a true witness of Christ. He speaks of the need for patience in fulfilling such a mission and the blessing that come from patience. He explains the need for faithful representatives by explaining that others cannot build faith unless they hear the word of God and he beseeches us to be “living sacrifices”. We are surrounded by more and more evil that would try to intimidate us into being ashamed of our testimonies. However, defending truth and righteous is the only way to attain true happiness, regardless of what the louder voices in the world may say.

Said President Hinckely in addressing new converts, “We rejoice with you in the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are many blessings in store for you. We know at times it can be terribly lonely. It can be disappointing. It can be frightening. We of this Church are far more different from the world than we are prone to think we are. But the gospel is nothing to be ashamed of. It is something to be proud of.” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “A Perfect Brightness of Hope: To New Members of the Church,” Ensign, Oct 2006, 2–5)
Q: Are there certain situations (i.e when I am at a certain place or with a certain person) where I feel ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
