Two posts in one night - it's post-Christmas bonus time here at RandoJones.com!
I saw this video last year and we played it at church again this year on the 14th. It was produced by Wired Churches which is a ministry of Granger Community Church, Granger, IN and its title is "The Truth (Vertigo)".
I can't put forth a appropriate message to you if this video stirred something within you, I'm sorry. I just watched this again myself and it's got me "all sentimental" (don't take that description lightly).
Additionally, my belief doesn't make me a perfect person, which is evident by some of my prior posts. Just understand this: some believers are hypocritical fools (like me, for calling them hypocritical fools), some really stuggle with taking up following Jesus (like me, by calling people names and gettin' all uppity; sin can be a tough burden to give up), and some people do rather well with it.
The Roman Road is a set of Bible verses that describe what you need to understand about the way to salvation (New Internation Version):
- Romans 3:23 - ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ...
- Romans 6:23a - For the wages of sin is death, ...
- Romans 6:23b - ...but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 10:9 - That 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.
- Romans 5:1 - Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ...
- Romans 8:1 - Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, ...
And an explanation:
- We are all sinners. We have all done things that are against God's will or things we feel, we know are morally wrong.
- Every human will physically die once in their lifetime, but those who chose their sin over salvation will be eternally separated from God.
- Salvation is God's free gift to you - it cannot be earned through works. You simply have to reach out and receive it.
- Jesus took our sins upon Himself and suffered our just punishment in our stead. We just need to believe in Him and trust that His shed blood is payment for our sin - and we will be saved!
- The result of the Roman Road is the fruits of salvation: through Jesus Christ we can have a relationship of peace with God.
- Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, we will never be condemned for our sins.
It's late and the time has come for purposeful sackin' hittin' (that means "take a nap"). If you'd like to make a comment or possibly need someone to pray for you, send me one of those email deals via the following address: Rando Jones.
