Unashamed

For there is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the man Christ Jesus.  

– 1 Timothy 2:5

I live in a part of the country where being a Christian is not very popular.  Many people see Christians as old-fashioned, out of date, too conservative, and overall just plain un-cool.  When we first moved to Boulder CO, I was embarrassed to explain that the reason I was late picking up my daughter from preschool every Wednesday was because I attended a Bible Study.  When I told one mom, she was surprised and said, “I didn’t think people still read the Bible.  It’s so old.”  Then one day, I noticed another mom who always late on Wednesdays.  I soon learned she attended a Bible Study across town at a different church.  We became fast friends.

Do you tell people you read the Bible?  Would you be quick or slow to tell someone you meet that although we live in a nation quickly moving away from God, you still believe He is the one true God?  Would you let others you know follow Jesus?

When the apostle Paul was encouraging the first believers in Rome, he told them not to be ashamed of their faith. Instead, he reminded them that the power of God is alive in all who receive salvation through God’s one and only son, Jesus.  (Romans 1:16).  God was speaking to us, too.  God desires for believers to be unified.

Think for a moment about the oneness of God.

• One Father - God
• One Son – Jesus
• One Spirit – Holy Spirit
• One Body – The Church
• One Faith – In Jesus
• One Hope – Salvation through Jesus
• One Mission – Glorify God

As Jesus followers we are one in body, spirit, hope, and love.  Let’s thank and praise God today for our oneness and never be ashamed to share where our faith comes from.

The Power of Giving God Thanks Will Ignite Your Faith and Change Your World!
