“If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and the and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”

WHY?

Because God is pure good.  Everything that the word “good” entails  belongs to God.  Jesus is the exact radiance of the Heavenly Father. 

Who is ashamed of what is good?  He who would rather live in evil is ashamed of what is good.  How is it possible for God to be proud of such people?

And so, we who were born with evil hearts cry out to a people with evil hearts, “Turn to the Lord receive His forgiveness and learn to love what is good”. 

Does this mean God’s people have become good?  Absolutely not!  Rather we have come to desire what is good.  For it has proof in our soul that God is true.

Therefore we boldly walk out into the street and proclaim that God is righteous.  And because of his love for us we are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.
