Philippians 3:10

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Oh Lord how I desire to reject my own righteousness in order to secure not merely an intellectual knowledge of You but relational, in fact an intimate knowledge. I desire the same for my loved ones as well. To know the power of Your resurrection not only as a one-time event but Your ongoing power in the day-to-day experience of life being in You the Christ. To desire to be an imitator of You would be the greatest compliment I could give and comes from a heart of sincere gratitude. May I forget those things which are behind and reach forward to the things that lay ahead. Although I cannot obliterate the past from my memory, I refuse to let it obstruct my progress. May I not be conformed to the world but by the renewing of my mind. So, Father I yield my will to Your gracious hand to be molded and shaped into the image and likeness of Your radiant Son. May You Lord Jesus be glorified in and through me forever, Amen.

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.
