Focus this week on
SALVATION
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God
is eternal life
through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
NLT
I dreamed the other night that one of the chief medical officers at the hospital came to find me. “I need to know if my faith is enough if I were to die. And I want you to tell me what to do.”
In my dream I walked him through the plan of salvation. Isn’t that interesting? Sometimes I just shake my head at the things I dream!
But can you walk someone through the Scriptures if you need to? Here is one way to do it.
- Romans 3:23 (last week)
- Romans 6:23 (this week)
- Romans 5:8
- Romans 10:9-10
- Revelation 3:20 (next week)
Or you can use the ABCs.
- A-Admit that you’re bad and that you’ll never measure up on your own.
- B-Believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son, that He died on the cross to take away your sins, and that He was raised from the dead
- C-Commit your life to Christ
Most of the time, people think they have to do something to earn their way to heaven. Nothing could be further from the truth. God loves us just like we are and He wants to bring us all into His family through the action of His son.
That is the best news ever!
LORD, help us to be attuned to your Holy Spirit so that when the time is right we can share about you to someone else. The gift of eternal life that you gave us is far too precious for us to keep to ourselves!
