I. EAGER TO PREACH
Romans 1:14–15 (ESV) — 14 I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
II.
NOT ASHAMED
Romans 1:16 (ESV) — 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
to be ashamed v. — to be or become characterized by feelings of shame, guilt, embarrassment, or remorse.
1 Corinthians 1:22–25 (ESV) — 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Mark 8:38 (ESV) — 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
“We find it almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which human reason and experience are not the judge and arbiter of everything.
By long habit, we assume that Christianity’s normal place is in the dock, cap in hand, seeking to fend off the secular world’s objections and allegations, and hoping to provide attractive, compelling reasons that might satisfy the Judge, or at least make him regard us less negatively.”

2 Timothy 1:6–9 (ESV)
1 Corinthians 1:26–31 (ESV)
“The great news, though, is that the gospel provides a profound critique of snake-think and a wonderful redemption from it.
The simple old gospel is powerfully effective because it addresses the simple old problem—which also happens to be the simple modern problem: rebellion against God.
Gospel persuasion is accusatory and liberating rather than defensive or apologetic, because it calls on all people everywhere to leave behind their noetic (Mental) rebellion and turn back to the only wise God.” Tony Payne in The Payneful TruthJuly 13, 2022
