Romans 3:10 - As it is written: There is none righteous, no not one.
No matter our good works, how much think we are good people. if our hearts aren't right, it doesn't matter. We could save the world from a bomb, but without Jesus in our hearts, believing in Him and what He did for us, we are still going to hell. Plain as that.
Romans 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.
We can be good people but we all sin. God's word says in Matthew 5:28, "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:22 says " But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement." Anger and hate are just as bad as murder itself. If we think about it, its in our hearts corrupting us. You don't have to go & do the actual deed to sin. No one since the beginning of Creation can say they have not sinned, except Jesus. He is the only perfect One. That what we strive for.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What EXCITING news this is!!!!!! Eternal life with Jesus. That with our sin we should die. No matter the sin our punishment is death, but God sent us the most wonderful gift. His Son Jesus to take that punishment for us, so that we could have eternal life in Christ if we accept Him.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
How can anyone say God doesn't love us. He wants life for His people, His children, so much that His Son took our place on the cross. He took it all for us. If that's not love, I don't know what is.
Romans 10:9 - that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord of all I believe and know He was raised from the dead by God. It's literally that easy if your heart wants it. Especially when you're just tired of this old world & know that you need something better. Let me tell ya Jesus is it!!!!! He was so worth giving up the old to get the new me. Yes I still fail daily, but the difference is knowing how much Jesus loves me no matter what I do. That even with my sin of abortion, I'm forgiven, I'm redeemed. I received His grace & mercy. He took my death for me so that I could live with Him forever.
Romans 10:10 - For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession made unto salvation.
To have righteousness we must believe with our hearts & have faith. For salvation, we must confess it with our mouths. The Bible mentions this several times that we must confess with our mouths so its obvious its something we need to do. We can't keep it to ourselves. We need deliverance from our sins and calling on the Lord for help is the only way.
Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Isn't that amazing!!! Just call on Jesus. Ask Him into our hearts & we will be saved. How much more simple can He make it. We just call on Him and He does the work of saving us. We just have to make a choice.
Revelation 3:20 - Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
To everyone Jesus is standing at the door of our hearts knocking and waiting. Hoping we choose to answer. When we do, He will dine with us offering us His life.. We only need to dine on His word to be filled to the rim & live forever & eternally with Him.
John 6:51
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
John 7:38
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
John 1:12 - But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
I am a child of God. I have a Father that will never leave me nor forsake me. Anytime I'm in trouble, upset, tired, feel alone, He is there. My earthly father is amazing!!! I am truly blessed to have him but when he is gone I will always have my Father in Heaven.
Romans 8:15-17
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him,that we may also be glorified together.
He has adopted me into His kingdom. Will you join me as my brother and sister in Christ!!??!!
