All scripture is profitable and I thank God that He has made it so simple off all to understand. When I 'm hearing the Word of God faith will come. When I keep reading it aloud to myself or in church it will increase. When my faith is tested I must continue to believe what God has said through His Word. My faith gets strong and stronger because of Christ. He is the author and finisher of our faith. Yes!
Israel was God 's chosen nation and to say that a Roman gentile would be in heaven and a Jew wouldn 't must have been a shock to those in the crowd. They were the physical heirs to the kingdom and they missed it by eighteen inches. Salvation will only come to men like the centurion who understand their spiritual poverty: Lord I 'm not worthy to have you come under my roof! Matt5:3 On the other hand those who think they can make heaven by a their works will fall short. In Romans 10:3 it states they were ignorant of God 's righteousness and tried to establish their own. When a man crosses this line he begins a standard which he himself can keep and he turns a deaf ear to the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God and now becomes his own God.
I don 't pretend to have all the answers, like some do, and I 'm not going to twist Gods word to suit my beliefs, I fear GOD to much.Faith and obedience should work hand in hand with each other, it is this faith and obedience and the power of the Holy Spirit that brings us to our Savior, and belief in Him, this is the first step to Salvation, believing in your heart, and confessing with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, Acts 16:31-- And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And again: Romans 10:13--For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The point I 'm making to you! is there are some who twist Gods word and spread heretical lies, that are in denial of Gods Holy word and of this sort beware! II Corinthians 11: 14 And no marvel, for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Verse " 15--Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to there works. AMEN!!
Christ rose from the dead after three days. I remember hearing the story and verse from my childhood that he went down into hell in order to save many souls. Where in the bible is this verse contained?
Pastor Ryan Sheppard on Romans 10:15 - 10 years ago
Comparing scripture with scripture the word "Go " is the very FIRST word in God 's great commission in Mt. 28 and the word "Go " is the most vital word in God 's Great Commission instructing all who have fully believed on Jesus how our feet are called by God to be fully given to God to be used to preach His gospel as we who claim to be Christian 's Christ ones are to be "DOER " of God 's Word and NOT HEARERS ONLY as James 2 so powerfully exhorts. Preaching the good news of the gospel is what God calls "beautiful " in this verse, so, what 's keeping you from doing the most beautiful Christian act? Timidity? That 's concern over self, an intense SELF love. PRIDE? that you know better than God about that which is beautiful? Read 2 Corinthians 5 17,18 where every believer in Jesus is not only a new creature also we 're all ALL GIVEN the ministry of reconciliation.
What this Scripture is saying is that all Christians must stop going to the "church building " on Sunday which is not supported in the Bible. They must go into the streets , festivals , big and small cities and preach the word.
I add to my first comment " Faith comes by hearing and then you confess ". That 's what Jesus did in Mark 7 .He touched the ear and the tongue of the deaf person, and then pointed to Heaven for faith which comes from Heaven, from God.
Looking into Internet, I found out that there are some Ministries using sign language to teach the Bible, and so far only 2 pct of deaf people are saved. If you read Mark chapter 7 verse 32 to 37 you will see how Jesus cured a deaf person. But of course, He was God, and He could cure anything in anyway. But look the details of this case specially verse 33 and 34 and 35. Some people say Jesus used sign language!
First seek the kingdom of God ! Then you will be open to receive His words,which is the spirit of God. That teaches us as Heirs to Gods kingdom ,how we ought to behave and live with one another.
Salvation is for those that put their trust in HIS finished work, then boldly unashamely confess HIS Lordship in your life. Paul set the tone when he declared that he is not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of GOD unto salvation.
I must confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and I shall be saved I will be raised from the dead death of trespasses and sins. I will be raised to newness of life . Death has no more dominion over me. It comes against me but it has no dominion over me. Right now in this my life I can experience freedom from sin and death. Death is separation from God. Anything that breaks up there is death separation.
Thank God that he has provided a way for us to obtain faith. As we study and meditate on his Word we would grow and develop the measure of faith that God has given us when we became Christians Romans 12 3
God gives to every man the measure of faith. With the measure that we are given we are to add to. To grow We can only attain faith from God 's word any other source is non working We must read the word of God and be around preaching. Faith cometh by hearing the word of God. Faith can only please God.
God loved us so much that He gave His Son. Now the Spirit of Life has set us free from the law of sin and death. Messiah has paid the price for us as we have broken His Law. All believer 's are now made righteous in Him. He is Torah and He has come and fulfilled established the Law not destroying or abolishing one bit of it. Amen
Faith cometh by hearing the word of God. And it 's a creating ability from nothing and everyone has it but if you don 't live by it consciously it might seems you don 't have it. And when God say without faith no one can please God, this is indication of its necessity to everyone to live and act it consciously. Thanks.
My most favorite book in all the bible! How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?and how shallthey believe in him of whom they have not heard?and how shall they hear without a preacher? LETS GO PREACH!
Verse 13 "For 'Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ' " This verse is a direct quote of Joel 2 32. This means that YHWH, the God of the old Testament, and Jesus are the same. This is a truth we once knew but have long since forgotten. If we get back to it, it will add meaning to our Christian worship. It also means that we will be worshiping the same God as the prophets, but now by his New testament name, Jesus. We must understand that it was Jesus who introduced us to God 's other personality, the Father. That is why Jesus said of the Father, "And I have revealed you to them and will keep on revealing you. " He was letting us know that there is another personality of God besides himself the Father. And there is yet another, the Holy Spirit. But Jesus is always the way God speaks to us. So call upon God by saying his name Jesus, and we will be saved!
ETHEL comment on v 9 If you believe in your hearts and confess with your mouth that God raised Jesus from the dead and Jesus is the son of God then we are saved One must start to doing good and less committing sins your daily walk with Jesus should start with a prayer songs and rejoicing reading the word of God and fasting on things you cannot bare and steer yourself from old habits and if you should fall by the way ask God to for give you and keep going good Amen this walk are not easy but it get easy the more you try and yield your members unto God
Wow Faith comes from hearing the message and the message comes through preaching Christ if only we would know and be able to descern between zeal and knowledge of God we would be better and our relation with God would be high I pray that God may give us that spirit of discernement between the things of God and those things that are not of God in this time and generation that we live in Jesus Christ s Name Amen
