WHY ARE WE ASHAMED?

Why do we hide our faith in Jesus from the world? Is it because we want to be accepted by the unsaved? Do we detest our decision to follow Christ? I have often thought about this and have also been there. I did it in High School because I was trying to be someone else instead of myself. Some people might even feel as though they need to protect it. But in all reality, this is something that needs to be shared. I’m not saying that you need to put on shirts with verses and shout while you are at work. People should be able to see a difference without all that. They should be able to know and feel the difference. This can lead to an opportunity to share the gospel with someone. The Bible says in Romans 10:11, “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him, shall not be ashamed.” There is no reason to hide your faith in Christ. Let it shine and illuminate the dark world that we live in. This is not an easy task; it takes some work on your part. You have to be willing to study the Word and be ready to share your testimony. 2 Timothy 2:15 tell us, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This may be “scary”, but the more you are willing to show God in your life, the closer you will get to Him. This will then improve all aspects of your life, and may lead to someone receiving Christ as their Savior. There are five things that we need to do to be a good Christian:
1) Read your Bible
2) Pray
3) Be faithful in Church
4) Give to the Lord’s work
5) Tell people about Jesus
The Lord is not something to keep hidden. Every day that you hide your faith, is another lost opportunity to save someone from Hell.
