God’s Power Can Make Us Secure
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16 HCSB).
God’s Power Can Result in Change
“Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?” (Romans 2:4).
Sin Makes Change Necessary
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
God Still Loves Us
“But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
Sin Earns Death, But God Gives Life
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Confess, Repent, Believe, Call
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:9, 10, 13).
