To the persecuted church of Rome, Paul says, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Paul, appointed to be an Apostle by the will of God, trusts in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And this Gospel does not disappoint. Paul offers the doctrine of salvation to the Romans to build their confidence in the face of death. Because of this confidence, they can “present their bodies as sacrifices as a spiritual act of worship.”

The Great Commission: Love your Neighbor and Change the World!
When you’ve been transformed by God’s love, you can’t help but want others to experience the same grace and freedom. But how do you share it without scaring them away or offending them? For most Christians, “evangelism” is an intimidating word that suggests handing out tracts to strangers or doing other awkward things. But what if there was a more organic, more authentic way to share your faith with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers? Dave Ferguson shares five simple, straightforward practices that will allow any believer to do just that. And by consistently living them out, you can affect not just individual lives but your entire neighborhood and community—one person at a time.
