Matthew 4:16

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.

Praise to You Lord who created the heavens and stretched them out. Praise to You Lord who spread forth the earth and that which come from it. Bless You Lord who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it. You the Lord have called us to righteousness. Dear Jesus, You were given as a covenant to the people, may all glory and honor be given You now and always. You are the Lord and Jesus is Your name. Your glory will not be given to another, nor praise to carved images. We behold the former things have come to pass and You have declared a new thing. We will sing to You Lord a new song. Praises from the end of the earth. Jesus may Your words prick the hearts of those in darkness "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Lord, I pray for those who are casting their nets in the wrong direction, living in ways that lead to death, may they leave their old ways behind and "Follow You." It is the most worthwhile journey to take with You holding our hands, leading and guiding us along the way, in the light of Your grace. The darkness looms over the hearts of many but You Lord Jesus shine bright piercing the dark and illuminate the heart. You never ceasing but ever increasing in brilliance and radiance. Thank You Jesus for Your light that dawns in those we love who are sitting in the shadow of death. Your praise forever on our lips. You are the LIGHT of the world. Amen.

Isaiah 42:5-10 and Matthew 4:12-22

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."
