Romans Road to Salvation
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord
Romans 5:8 But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:9 If you confess with you mouth, 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 12:1 Therefore, dear brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.
The Gift of Scripture
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correction and for training in righteousness.
Joshua 1:8 This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.
Psalm 119:11 I have treasured your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6 Listen O Israel: The Lord your God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. These words I am giving to you today are to be in your heart.
Deuteronmy 6:7 Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Hebrews 4:12 The Word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints and marrow. It is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart.
The Gift of Prayer
Hebrews 4:16 Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
1 John 5:14 Now this is the confidence we have before Him, whenever we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:15 And if we know that He hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked Him for.
The Gift of Assurance
1 John 5:11 This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
Adding to our wonderful gift of assurance is the very next verse in 1 John 5, verse 12:
"The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn't have the Son of God does not have life."
Could it get any clearer than that? Herbert Lockyer is quoted as saying:
My goal is to be able to affirm as passionately as John does of my knowledge of my eternal home to any and all who may ask why I have this persistent smile on my face! (And that means I gotta' keep smiling!)

Could it get any clearer than that? Herbert Lockyer is quoted as saying:
The assurance of salvation is plainly written over the pages of the New Testement. Christ and His apostles lived in the air of certainty. The epistles glow with the truth that we may know we possess salvation.I love the phrase he uses, "glow with the truth." The apostles had such clarity of their future...they had no doubt about their destination, and they so wanted to make sure that they passed on that assurance to those who followed them. John fills his gospel and his epistles with solid instruction as to how we, too, can be firmly convinced of our eternal destination...it is by being one with God through a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, His Son.
My goal is to be able to affirm as passionately as John does of my knowledge of my eternal home to any and all who may ask why I have this persistent smile on my face! (And that means I gotta' keep smiling!)

19 weeks. That's really long time. A lot has happened in my life during these past 19 weeks. And each day I have needed the help and strength that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, gives me. I've been up and I have been down. Struggles in relationships and with my personal health. I have missed my parents that have died and have gone to be with Jesus Christ. I understand so much more as I grow older. The tough lives that my parents and my grandparents endured. God gives us such resiliency to continue with our daily struggles. I will continue to "smile" too, in my heart and outwardly through my actions. I too, will continue to let the "glow of truth" shine in me and through me to others. I am firmly convinced of my eternal life that awaits me.
