[QUOTE="Rescue1, post: 544414, member: 280"] Romans Road to Hope. Is there any hope? The future is uncertain. Families are falling apart and drugs are ruining our cities and schools. Diseases are killing people every day. Is there any hope? Can you find peace and joy in your heart? Can you have fulfillment, power and strength to live meaningful lives? Does anyone really care? YES!!!!!!! There is HOPE!!!! Jesus loves and cares for you more than you can imagine!! (Romans 15:13 " Now the God of hope fill you with all the joy and peace in believing, that he may abound (exist in large numbers or amounts) in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.) In His Word, the Bible, we find the road to hope. The first stop on the Road to Hope is power! There is power capable of giving you hope. The Bible tells us God has that power. (Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel,(Why?) because it is the power of God that brings salvation (deliverance from sin and its consequences), to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel (God's good news) the righteousness of God is revealed —a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith.") The second stop on the Road to Hope is change. The release of God's power results in a change in you. The biblical word for change is Repentance. (To Repent: To feel regret or contrition; to change one's mind.)The means that you’re allowing God to change the direction of your life in obedience to His Word. (Romans 2:4 “The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance ") Why is change necessary? A universal problem the Bible calls "sin" makes change necessary for all of us. (Romans 3:23 “For we have sinned and fell short of the Glory of God.") Sin means "missing the mark". It is failing to meet God's standard for how we ought to live. The third stop on the Road to Hope is God's Love. Although He was not pleased with us as we are, God loves us and wants to help us. (Romans 5:28 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.") Unfortunately, our sins carries the penalty of death, both physical and eternal. (Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death") God is willing to forgive and forget our sin by accepting Jesus as a substitute. His death on the cross paid the penalty of our sins. His resurrection from the dead provides our eternal life. The fourth stop on the Road to Hope is your Commitment. (Romans 10:9,13 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.- for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.) Commitment means to: •Repent= Turn away from sin to follow God's new direction for your life. •Believe= Trust Jesus as your substitute. •Confess= Acknowledge Jesus as the supreme authority over your life. •Call= Ask Him for forgiveness, eternal life, and Hope. Read the following prayer, and see if it expresses to desire of your heart! “Dear God, I know that Jesus is your son and that He died on the cross for my sins and was raised from the dead for my salvation. Because I have sinned and need forgiveness, I ask Jesus to come into my heart. I am willing to change the direction of my life by acknowledging Jesus as my Lord and Savior, and by turning away from my sins. Thank you for giving me forgiveness, eternal life, and Hope. In Jesus' name, amen." [/QUOTE]
