For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes […]

Romans 1:16 (NKJV)

The gospel doesn’t talk about the power of God; it is the power of God. Paul the Apostle wasn’t ashamed of it because he knew that it strikes the conscience, grabs the mind, warms the heart and enriches the life. It makes perverse men pure, drunken men sober and crooked men straight. People won’t experience God’s power until someone first shares God’s message that Christ died, was buried and rose from the dead to free and forgive us from our sins. Spread the word!
