Raw Scripture - Entry 4


The writings of Paul from the book of Romans .....

"For salvation that comes from trusting Christ - which is what we preach - is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation."
(Romans 10: 8 - 10)

Raw Scripture - Entry 2

The Apostle Paul in the New Testament Book of Romans...

"No one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what the law commands. For the more we know of God's laws, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying them; his laws serve only to make us see that we are sinners. But now God has shown us a different way to heaven - not by be 'being good enough' and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way(though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now God says he will accept and acquit us- declare us 'not guilty' - if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins." Romans 3 The Living Bible

Raw Scripture - Entry 1

From the Apostle Paul recorded
in his letter to the church in Rome ....


"For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is God's powerful method of bringing all who believe it to heaven. This message was preached first to the Jews alone, but now everyone is invited to come to God in this same way. This Good News tells us that God makes us ready for heaven - makes us right in God's sight - when we put our faith and trust in Christ to save us. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith." (Romans 1:16-17 - The Living Bible)
