The Road to Hope
Thursday, June 7th, 2007
Are you lost? Hurting? Need help? Need direction?
In God’s Word (the Bible), we learn the following:
God’s power can make us secure.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
God’s power can result in change.
Romans 2:4
Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Sin makes change necessary.
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
God still loves us.
Romans 5:8
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Sin earns death, but God gives life.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Confess, repent, believe, call
Romans 10:9-10
if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
