The Believer Not Ashamed of the Gospel

A sermon arguing that Christians should not feel shame about proclaiming the gospel, tracing the temptation in human nature and answering it by three reasons given in the text: the gospel's divine origin, the blessedness of its end, and the magnificence of its terms. The speaker interprets the apostle's declaration as a refusal to hide or neglect confession and preaching, and urges use of the understanding to examine Scripture followed by faith to accept truths beyond human reason. Practical lessons include proper limits of inquiry, confidence in the gospel's power for conversion and missionary hope, and encouragement for young believers to witness publicly and unite in spreading the message.
