Ashamed of Your Faith? That’s a Shame in Itself
We are to do our best at showing God we are approved workers who are not ashamed and who rightly divide the word of truth. When we are tested by trials, it gives us the opportunity to be doers of God’s word and not hearers only (James 1:22-25). The power of our faith resides in actions based on belief. Unless we step out in faith in whatever we’re trusting God for, we will not be approved by God. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). At one point in our Christian walk, we are expected to not be ashamed of our faith. Once we get a handle on correctly analyzing and accurately diving, and skillfully able to teach the word of truth, we will be approved by God and then, He can trust you with more in life. Once you’ve done your best in showing yourself approved by God, that’s enough, keep it moving because that’s all that is required. So study His word and be eager to present yourself to the Lord approved. The Lord wants to see that your heart is in it, and that in itself is always enough for God to bless you.
