1 Corninthians 13:3

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Heavenly Father, You have taught us through the love that Jesus poured out on the cross, that it is the love behind the action that gives it value. There has been no greater love than Christ Jesus laying down His life for the salvation of our souls. Father, I confess I do not love well, although I would like to. I often I fall short, forgive me. What is love? It never fails. Love suffers long and is kind, sadly I get impatient in the waiting and can act out in frustration because the change hasn't yet come. Does not envy or behave rudely. Love does not parade itself and is not puffed up. To love is not to think evil and is not provoked. To live life rejoicing in the truth, believing and bearing all things having an enduring hope. The love of Jesus never fails. Help me LORD to continue to put away childish things, maturing in thoughts, and understanding. May I pursue love with a pure heart and motive so others may see You in me. As the days grow darker and the love of many runs cold because wickedness is increasing may I stand firm till the end. Holy Spirit empower me to share the good news that Jesus is the way the truth and life. I will love You, O LORD, my strength. You are my rock, fortress and deliverer the One in whom I will trust. You are worthy to be praised. For You LORD are good and Your steadfast love endures forever, and Your faithfulness to all generations. Amen.

1 Corinthians 13, Matthew 24:12-14, John 14:6, Psalm 18:1-3 and Psalm 100:5

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.
