Read Romans 1-3
Romans 1:16 says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." We try so hard not to be offensive. We know others have their own beliefs and their own ways of doing things. We don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone uncomfortable.
But God is the God of power. If we’re too restrained, we’re not giving others a chance to get in on salvation. If we don’t speak up, how will others know what we know? If we don’t take our turns to present the Gospel, how will others know the choices they have?
We can be bold without being obnoxious. We can be gracious without being ashamed. We can let everyone know that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins and rose from the dead so we can have eternal life.
