Mark 16:9

Now when He arose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalane, out of whom He cast seven demons.

Therefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven. Truly marvelous Lord Jesus! We like Peter may ask "How many times must we forgive Lord?" Shall it be seven times? No, You have said up to seventy times seven. As I think back over my days and my deliverance I see the miraculous outpouring of love, grace and mercy in Your pardoning of my transgressions. It had to be way more than 490 times. My sins they are many, but Your mercy is more. I rejoice like Mary; It have been touched by You Jesus the risen Lord! To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed, to turn, turn will be our delight, till by turning, turning we come round right. So, by forgiving others we will be in the valley of love and delight. You have expanded my heart through Your forgiveness of my sins so now I too may love others much. Tis a simple gift. I love You Lord Jesus now and always. Amen.

Luke 7:47, Matthew 18:21-22, "Simple Gifts" by Joseph Brackett 1848

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?
