Nothing can separate us

Can you imagine a love like this?

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 ESV

If you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus, what are you waiting for? All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. He sacrificed Himself for YOU so that YOU can have eternal life in Heaven. Contact me if you have made this decision today. May God bless you and keep you.

Please join me this week in praying for the lost, unengaged, and unreached people. Pray that we spread the Gospel far and wide this week. It's not God's will that any should perish and He wants us to pray for the unsaved and spread the Good News, bringing Him glory and filling Heaven. So, pray without ceasing that He use this ministry to bring in the lost into His merciful and loving arms.

Peace with God

 

Lastly, Step Five on the Romans Road to Salvation tells us that salvation through Jesus Christ brings us into a relationship of peace with God.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, 

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:1 ESV

There is therefore now no condemnation 

for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:1 ESV

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:13 ESV

Receive salvation

 

Step Four on the Romans Road to Salvation is that we receive salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.

It is a 2-step process:

because, 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.

Romans 10:9-10 ESV

You must 

1. confess with your mouth AND

2. believe in your heart

Jesus died for you

 

Step Three on the Romans Road to Salvation is that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Remember yesterday we said that "the price of sin is death"? Jesus paid that price for our death.

He was the Perfect Sacrifice. His death paid for the sins of every single one of us.

   I don't remember where I saw this, but it went something like this...Imagine you were on death row. The guards take you out of your cell to walk you down the hall to be executed. Someone who you don't even know steps in and says, "I'm going to take your place." He goes with the guards, is executed, and you go home. How will you live your life? Will you live differently? Or will you return to your old ways, go back to committing crimes? I think (hope) most of us would live differently. Well, that story is true for each one of us. Jesus took our place when we were dead in our sins. Don't let it have been in vain.

 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

Romans 5:8 ESV

Accept the Free Gift

 

Step Two on the Romans Road to Salvation is to accept God's free gift.

     Once Adam and Eve sinned, death entered the world. Animals were sacrificed to provide clothing and later food. So, the price of sin is death. This includes man's spiritual death; our separation from God. Man literally walked in the Garden with our Creator yet just couldn't refrain from breaking His one command.

     However, God, with His infinite love and mercy, paid that price so that we can live. His gift to us is free, no strings attached. All we have to do is accept it. Will you accept His free gift of salvation?

All of us have eternal life, the only question is, where will you spend eternity? Heaven or hell?

For the wages of sin is death, 

but the free gift of God is 

eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6:23 ESV

Everyone needs Salvation

 

We're going to take a walk down the Romans Road to Salvation this week. We begin with Step One which states:

Everyone needs salvation because all have sinned.

as it is written:

“None is righteous, no, not one;

no one understands;

no one seeks for God.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;

    no one does good,

    not even one.”

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Romans 3:10-12, 23 ESV

The Great Commission

 

God has shown me another outlet where I can share the Gospel! (Hallelujah!) Therefore, I thought it would be a great opportunity to revisit the Romans Road to Salvation. The leaders of our women's group put together a step-by-step outline with relevant Bible verses for us to memorize (hopefully) and share (definitely) whenever the opportunity arises, and so I'm going to be sharing that with you throughout the week.
     What I need from you (please and thank you) is for you to share these verses each day. Post them on social media, or download them to your device so that you can forward them through messaging and/or email.
     Secondly, I need you to pray that this will bring lost sheep into the fold of our loving, merciful Good Shepherd.
 

My Pastor shared part of a sermon he heard...
There are three types of people in the world:

• Those who have heard the Gospel and rejected it.
• Those who have never heard the Gospel.
• Those who have heard the Gospel and accepted it.

Then he said, "Now you're one of only two groups."
Let's make sure that everyone we have contact with is one of only two groups. 

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20 ESV

Pray for a radio station in Croatia

 

This week of prayer may look a little different than normal. I'm an IMB Prayer Champion which simply means that I've volunteered to try to inspire my church and others to pray for missionaries, the unengaged and the unreached people groups of the world. Starting yesterday, November 29th through next Sunday, December 6th, is the Week of Prayer for International Missions. IMB has put together a wonderful collection of resources for this event, including a sheet that highlights one missionary, staff, and people group each day. That sheet includes a written version of their story, photos and a video. I'll share some information each day about the missionary/people group, their prayer requests, and the video, as well as the link to the sheet so that you can dig deeper if you like.
     Paul Chitwood, director of IMB wrote, "Please join me in praying that our missional reach might expand, as we await a multitude too great to number; a great multitude + you."

***

Today we're praying for missionary Eric Maroney, his wife, Julie, and their team in Zagreb, Croatia, where they've developed a radio ministry. Click here for the full sheet of information.

Day 2: Gospel Fills the Airwaves from IMB on Vimeo.

Prayer requests:

PRAY that more national partners will choose to be a part of sharing the gospel across Croatia.

PRAY that more church plants will result from the radio broadcast ministry.

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Revelation 7:9-10 NKJV

All nations will hear the gospel

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed 

throughout the whole world as a 

testimony to all nations, 

and then the end will come.

Matthew 24:14 ESV

The need for missionaries

How then will they call on him in whom 

they have not believed? 

And how are they to believe in him of 

whom they have never heard? 

And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

Romans 10:14 ESV

What can I do for You today?

To do the will of God should be as necessary to our survival as eating each day. It's too easy to say, "Not today, Father" and make excuses because we're too busy pursuing our own selfish needs. The only reason we're here is because He created us. Ask Him each and every day, "What can I do for You today, Lord?" Our Missionaries live their lives doing His will; sacrificing their own earthly wants and needs to go wherever they're needed. I'm in awe of them.

Jesus said to them, 

“My food is to do the will of him 

who sent me and to accomplish his work.

John 4:34 ESV

hope that is in you; 

yet do it with gentleness and respect,

But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

International missions

A Market in Mozambique

As Christians, we understand that our purpose in this life is to spread the Good News to all Nations. For most of us, that means people who we come in contact with, but for a small group of very special people (they must be special, in my opinion) that means leaving the comforts of home and traveling to places all over the world. They move to areas without running water or electricity. Just to get to some of these villages means driving or walking through areas where it's forbidden to even mention Christ. There are people looking for missionaries to imprison them, or worse. I can't imagine doing that; I'm not courageous enough and it must not be my destiny, but what I can do is support those people who have this calling. You can. too, through prayer, donations, and spreading awareness. Our church supports IMB which is the International Mission Board. They have 3,623 missionaries all over the world, reaching out to 847 nations (if I'm understanding their information correctly). Pray for them and pray for what God would like for you to do to support missionaries and reach out to the unreached people groups of the world.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20 ESV
