Selected
Bible
versus
from
the
book
of
Romans
(King James Version)
3:10........As it is
written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;"
(this means that there is no one who
does right all of the time, or who is totally
pure in heart and life.)
3:11..........There is none that understandeth; There is none that seeketh after
God.
(no one, left to himself, will seek
to find God, for he doesn't understand
the condition he is in.)
3:23..........For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
(No matter how good we live, there
is still sin in our lives, and, because of sin,
we all fall short of what God wants us to be.)
6:23a.........For the
wages of sin is death.
(wages is payment or a paycheck. Because we are sinners, if we die in our sins
the paycheck we will receive will be "death," eternal separation from God.)
5:8 ..........But
God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
(Do you want to know how much God
loves you? Look at the cross. Christ was punished
by death for your sins.)
6:23b...........but the
gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Do you want forgiveness of your sins? Do
you want to be saved? You can have it
as a free gift from God. How? Read on.)
10:9a...........That if
thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus
("Confess" means to tell God what you
believe about Jesus Christ. He wants to know
that you believe Jesus is Lord and Savior, and that you believe His death on the
cross
was in payment for your sins. Next...
10:9b.............and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead,
(God wants to know that you believe that
Jesus is alive today. Then..)
10:9c.............thou
shalt be saved.
(That's God's promise: If you acknowledge
your belief in Jesus' death,
burial, and resurrection - that He did this fro you - God will give you
eternal life. How do you acknowledge this? read one more verse.)
10:10.............For
with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto
salvation.
10:13.............For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."
("Call" means to pray. When you pray, you
"confess" and "believe" - verse 9.
Then God will save you. It's as simple as that. He's just waiting on you
to call.
Will you do it now? Here's a prayer you can pray.....)
"Dear God, I know I am a
sinner, and because I am a sinner, I know that I will never be with You in
heaven
But I want to be saved so I can be with You in heaven. I confess to You that I
believe that Jesus is the Savior
who died on the cross, receiving punishment for my sins. I also believe that He
was raised from the dead and is alive today. I want Him to be Lord of my
life....Amen."
