Romans 6:11,NIV
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6: 11, NIV If you believe that Jesus died and rose in the grave to save you, then you ought to live a new life with Him. You are already dead to sin, just as Jesus died on the cross. Stop living in the darkness. Instead, choose to follow the ways of God. Jesus will lead you to experience the fullness of this life. Stay in His presence and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit so that you will always be guided. Let the grace that Jesus poured out on the…

Romans 5:19, NIV
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19, NIV We are made sinners because of Adam’s disobedience. He chose to follow his own will. Because of this one man, sin is now flowing through our blood. This is the reason why nobody is perfect. No matter how much we try to do good things, we still can’t help but embrace our identity as a sinner. Because of this, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ. And through His obedience, we are made righteous. It’s His blood…

Romans 5:8, NIV
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8, NIV Jesus didn’t die to save the righteous. He offered His life even when we were still sinners. He didn’t wait for us to change for Him to sacrifice Himself. This is how big His love is.

You are already loved even before you realize what love is. So if you feel like nobody wants to be with…

You may not appreciate what He allowed you to experience for…

Romans 4:20-21, NIV
Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he has promised. Romans 4: 20-21, NIV This verse refers to Abraham. God promised to give Him a son, but Abraham needed to wait for so long to see this promise fulfilled. He was 100 years old when God granted Him, Isaac. But in those long years, Abraham’s faith remained strong. He didn’t waiver or lose hope. He firmly believed that God would give him a son. He knows in His heart that the God he believed…

Romans 4:13, NIV
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. Romans 4: 13, NIV It’s all about faith. You need to accept the truth that it’s not about following the law or making an effort so that Jesus will notice you. He already loved you even before you knew Him, and all you need to do is receive Him with all your heart, mind, and soul. The promises of God are always available. Abraham and his offspring received them not by following the law but by having faith in Jesus.…

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3: 23, NIV We all fall short of the glory of God. Sin is in our blood. No one is righteous apart from those who believe in Jesus. This is the reason why we need God’s salvation. We need the grace of God to redeem us, and we can only experience it in the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Apart from Him, we will never experience real life. It’s Him who can lead us to eternity. Our good deeds and…

Romans 2:13, NIV
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. Romans 2: 13, NIV It is not just about hearing and knowing what is written in the law of God. Those who choose to obey will be declared righteous. You need to put everything that you learned into action. God sees you as righteous if you will obey Him even in seasons when you are in pain or having a hard time. Do it not to honor others or even yourself but do what’s right to glorify God in your life. Remember…

Romans 2:6, NIV
God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” Romans 2:6 Do what’s right in the eyes of God. Don’t just follow your own will.

Romans 2:5, NIV
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. Romans 2: 5, NIV One day, God will execute His righteous judgment. Yes, He is a good God, and He desires all of us to be saved, but He is also a Holy God. He hates sin because it keeps us away from Him. It’s like a poison that slowly kills our souls. That’s why we need to surrender everything in His presence and repent. But then, there are days when we are so stubborn. We keep on following our own…
