HOW GOD SPEAKS

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Romans 10:17 "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ." That is how God speaks to us; He left His 'voice' by giving us His Living Word. For those who might doubt this I suggest you heed my plea at the end of the message.

 

Verse 4 "Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes." There are religions today whose doctrine is the law which, as just quoted, became obsolete when Jesus came. They place unnecessary burdens upon the people; that's why Jesus said to follow Him because His 'yoke' was easy.

 

Verse 9 "That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Can't be plainer than that.

 

This is powerful, effective scripture for non-believers and most encouraging for believers.

 

Listen to Him speak:

NO CONDEMNATION

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Romans 8:1, 2, "There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death."

 

The law could not save us; it was created solely for the purpose of exposing our sin nature. Before the law faith was required, as well as during the period of the law, and since the time of Jesus; nothing has changed. The Bible is very clear that faith in the key ingredient for salvation and not by works; which would be trying to do the impossible by following the law.

 

For those of us who have accepted Jesus as our personal Savior let us live in the anticipation and joy of knowing we will be with Him for eternity. If you think about it our eternity with Him began the moment we accepted God's free gift; never to lose.

 

For those who have yet to accept God's free gift I can only pray that you will before it is too late. Learn more about Jesus and the faith step by:

WHO WILL RESCUE ME?

 

 

Hi Everyone:

 

Romans 7:24, 25, "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!" Paul was well aware of man's sinful nature and how natural it is to sin because of it; and makes his point that our only hope is Jesus.

 

We should be fully aware of the shrewdness of the devil and the fact that he and his demons are constantly at work trying to convince us of the benefit of sin (his benefit). It should also be understood that we cannot compete with him; he is powerful and our only hope to defeat him is Jesus.

 

For believers: We should call upon the Holy Spirit to help us and He will.

For non-believers: You have no way of defeating the devil unless you are a child of God.

 

You can become a child of God by accepting His gift to the world; as Paul says, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our Redeemer and will rescue us.
