Just before I wrote this post I found something that I didn’t expect to. Romans 13:6 reads, “Pay your taxes.” I had no idea that this was worded so plainly.  Again in Romans 13:7 the bible reads, “Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them.”

Paying your taxes is not something most people look forward to. Actually, for me this is the first year I am Read the rest of this entry »

Are you kind to others?  Do you show kindness?  Romans 12:8 reads in the New Living Bible, “And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, Read the rest of this entry »

I prayed for God to show me something to write about today and Romans 14:21-22 stick out to me. In the New Living Bible it reads, “it is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if you might cause another Read the rest of this entry »

The New Living Bible reads in Romans 9:25, “Concerning the Gentiles, God says in the prophecy of Hosea, ‘those who were not my people I will now call my people.  And I will love those whom I did Read the rest of this entry »

The NIV bible reads in Romans 10:9-10, “that if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and Read the rest of this entry »

Romans 10:9 reads in the NIV version, “that if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart God rose Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Unfortunately in today’s world many are confused by ‘saved.’  A Greek Orthodox Priest I know in a sermon he gave years ago said something along this line, “when I was younger a boy rode his bike up to mine and asked me, ‘are you saved?’  I answered him, ‘saved from what?’”  The rest of the sermon as I remember it went down hill.

That remark flabbergasted me.  My thinking is, ‘saved from what?  The fires of hell.’  I used to think that was common knowledge, but I found I was very wrong.

Let me tell you right now, straight forward we need to believe and confess Jesus is Lord, He died on the cross and God rose Him from the dead so our sins are forgiven so we are saved from hell and the lake of fire for all eternity.  Those of us who are saved are going to heaven with Jesus.  Let’s remove any doubt from your mind.  Please pray the below prayer from your heart and out loud so you will have eternal life in heaven with Jesus.

Dear Father I pray in the Name of Jesus, please come into my life. Forgive me of all my sins. I believe that You are the Son of God and You died on the cross and rose from the dead to make a way for me. Thank you for loving me enough to die for me on the cross so my sins can be forgiven. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Please come into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. Please make me a new creature in Christ. Please write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I love you. Thank you Jesus! In Jesus’ Name I pray, AMEN.

In the Orthodox Study Bible and the New King James Version, Romans 6:11 reads, “likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” The Amplified version reads the same verse as, “even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it Read the rest of this entry »
