Introduction: Are you ready to share the gospel of Jesus Christ? Think about it. Did Jesus die for you? What does that mean to you? Is it His will for us to share His great Love & forgiveness through a relationship with Him? I love this passage of Scripture. By the grace of God, Paul understood these life changing principles. It is what motivated him to live and die.

1. We are DEBTORS because of Jesus’ sacrifice!

“I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.” (Rom 1:14)

Truthfully, we owe our Lord Jesus everything. Why? Because He gave His all that we might have all in Him, i.e., Heaven. Eternal life. Joy. Peace. Victory. Obviously, we cannot pay Jesus back. Yet we can dedicate our life to Him. He deserves it!
Right?

2. We are to be READY to share the good news!

“15So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.” (Rom 1:15)

Are you ready? Willing? Able? Time is running out. People are perishing without hope. Opportunities are all around us. There is good news for a bad news world. Jesus saves!

3. We are not to be ASHAMED of being a follower of Jesus Christ!

“16For 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.” (Rom 1:16)

Are we ashamed? Why aren’t we telling everybody? Did Jesus say He would deny us if we deny Him? (Matt 10:32)
Only Jesus Christ can change a life so that a sinful man can go to a sin-free heaven. Through His redeeming blood, all of our sins are washed away!
