There are aspects of the gospel that are looked down upon today, just as in first century. In Romans 1:16-17 Paul gives a clear summary of why he is not ashamed of the gospel, and the reasons are still true for us today. John explains.

Individualism is the default mode of thinking in the west today. We have a tendency to see ourselves more as individuals than as members of a group. While the gospel is personal, it is not individualistic. We see in Romans 1 that the Gospel works in community. John explains.
