1 Thessalonians 4:1

Finally, then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and please God...

You have instructed us Lord Jesus; they will know us as Your followers by our love for one another. So may it be we abound in this more and more. To be found blameless in holiness before You Our God and King. Some among us, appear to be pleasing to You but all the while they are seeking approval from men. May they receive correction and be fully pleasing to You, being fruitful in every good work. I aspire Lord to lead a quiet life, minding my own business, and to work with my hands. The task of walking properly is an essential part of my witness that must remain steady and constant in my life. Just as I'm dependent on my limbs to support my every step, so I am dependent on the Holy Spirit to keep me walking upright and in the right direction. May I walk worthy of the calling, remaining in Your light, that is in Your revealed will. There is still much yet to come, trials and triumphs, worries and wonders, sanctification and satisfactions and through it all may my heart be filled with gratitude. May each passing day be lived out in a way that please You Almighty God. May I be rooted and built up in You Lord, established in faith as I have been taught, and abounding with thanksgiving. May I be aware lest anyone cheat me through philosophy and empty deceit according to the traditions of men. May I not live according to the basic principles of the world but according to You, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the head of all principalities and power. All glory and honors is Yours now and forever more. Amen.

Colossians 1:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:11 and Colossians 2:6-10

The Roman Road

Who is Good?
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seek after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no not one."
Who has sinned?
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
The eternal cost of your sin.
Romans 6:23a "For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 1:18a "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..."
Nothing you can do can save you.
Romans 3:20a "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight..." Romans 3:27 "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of what works? No, but by the law of faith."
God's love has made a way!
Romans 5:8-9 "But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."
You must place your complete faith in Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe for there is no difference:"
Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from" the dead, you shall be saved.
Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law."
If you really believe that Jesus Christ alone can save you...
Romans 4:21 "And being fully convinced that what He had promised He will also perform."
...then pray and ask Him.
Romans 10:13 "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:11 "For the Scriptures says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."
Will you recieve Him as your Savior today?
If you have trusted Christ as your own personal Savior, please email and let me know so that I may rejoice and pray with you.
