The Book Of Romans is a very good book to minister from and the best verse to say to someone who isn't saved Romans 3:23 For all has sinned and come short of the glory of God But you tell tell it says and the bible that it say you are forgiven thou Jesus Christ
The book of Romans is a letter written by Paul, explaining what we must do as Chrsit followers. We must die to the law of Moses, the law of sin, the law of the land, the law that shows us our sind and our neighbors sin. We must be born again into a new law. The heavenly law. The law of Faith and Love. If it was not for the law of sin the how would one know what sin is? A true servent of Christ can look at his neighbor and see no sin for he live by faith and not by the law. You say "but we can not just go around doing what we want, who will hold us accountable if not the law?" The Holy Spirit will hold us accountable, by the Heavenly law.
this has always been one of my favorite verses, it shows us that we really can't live up to what God requires to get into heaven. If you are to read only this verse you might think that it wasn't possible to obtain the Glory of God, but even in His glory he has compassion enough to send His only son to die for us, even the ones that obvisously don't except Him. It is so encouraging to think that MY God is a God of love.
I LOVE TO READ GOD WORD THE BOOK OF ROMANS IS TELLING US WE NEED TO PART FROM SIN WELL THE WORD OF GOD LET'S US NO WHAT WE MUST DO I THINK THE BOOK OF ROMANS TEACHES US GOOD MORAL STANDERS I LIKE THE BOOK OF ROMANS LIKE I SAY I ENJOY READING THE BOOK
A Christian is not someone is not someone who follows all of the Ten Commandments strictly or
a good honest person. A Christian is someone who
has asked God to wash their sins away with the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible says in Romans 3:23. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Hebrews 9:22 says,"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission..."
The Lord Jesus Christ (God in the flesh) died on
the cross and shed His blood to wash away our
sins. Then He was buried in the grave and on the
third day He rose again.
The Bible says, "For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved."
We need to ask God to take our sins away with the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and ask Him
to help us turn away from our sins.
II Timothy 3:16 says, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness."
That means all of the Bible from Genesis to
Revelation is God's Word and is profitable to us.
Revelation is a book of prophecy of things to come. Much of it we will not understand until
some of the events begin to unfold.
The word "revelation" in the Greek means unveiling, disclosure, or revelation.
God tells us throughout the Bible of things to
come to prepare us ahead of time.
The most important thing right now is to be sure that we are a Christian by asking God to forgive our sins and cleanse us with Jesus' blood. That
way you can become His child and be assured of a home in Heaven one day.
What the devil fails to do is confess Jesus Christ as Lord...... That if thou will confess w/ thy mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved...... Again....good works is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit that dwells w/in us not a requirement for salvation.
Romans 3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED by faith without the deeds of the law.
The most untaught doctrine in the Christian faith today is the doctrine of predestination and election. From the foundations of the earth it was settled..... it was not your intellect, it was not your good looks, it was not your wealth, it was not your works.....for all our works are as filthy rags... it was God and God alone that saved you. That is what grace is.... God's UNMERItED FAVOR.....its not earned.... it is given... to them whom he predestinated to become adopted into fellowsip w/ Christ....
Hunh........... I guess Eph 2:8-9 must have been a type O then.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ones works are insufficient: Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Romans 3:10
As it is written, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, no, not one:
Good works are a manifestation of a born again spirit to be sure. But they did not save anyone. That would mean that Christ's death alone on the cross was not sufficient.
2 Corinthians 3:5
Not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is SUFFICIENT for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
One cannot earn God's favor (Grace) it is freely given. We only need to believe.

But if, while we seek to be JUSTIFIED by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Titus 3:7
That being JUSTIFIED by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
When verses in scripture seem to contradict each other you must do three things.
1. Find out what the rest of scripture tell us about the subject. *scripture interprets scripture*
2. Know the meaning in the original language as some does not translate well from its original. ( 1 John 3:6 and 3:9 are perfect examples) its says one born again is sinless; we know that not to be true it is impossible. A better translation would be to say; anyone born again will not continue in their sinful life style.)
3. Look at the historical context in which the subject was being written about.
Conclusion: Man has no part in his salvation, it is truly a gift to them that believe.
