The Roman Road to Salvation

 

 


 

 

 

 


 

The ROMANS ROAD....is a pathway you can walk.

 It is a group of Bible verses from the book of Romans in the New Testament.  If you walk down this road you will end up understanding how to be saved.

Romans 3:23  "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

We all have sin in our hearts. We all were born with sin.  

We were born under the power of sin's control.

- Admit that you are a sinner.

 

Romans 6:23a  "...The wages of sin is death..."

Sin has an ending.  It results in death.  We all face physical death, which is a result of sin.  But a worse death is spiritual death that alienates us from God, and will last for all eternity.  The Bible teaches that there is a place called the Lake of Fire where lost people will be in torment forever.   It is the place where people who are spiritually dead will remain.

- Understand that you deserve death for your sin.

 

Romans 6:23b  "...But the gift of God is eternal

life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Salvation is a free gift from God to you!  You can't

earn this gift, but you must reach out and receive it.

- Ask God to forgive you and save you.

 

Romans 5:8,  "God demonstrates His own love for us, in

that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!"

When Jesus died on the cross He paid sin's penalty. He paid the price for all sin, and when He took all the sins of the world on Himself on the cross, He bought us out of slavery to sin and death! The only condition is that we believe in Him and what He has done for us, understanding that  we are now joined with Him, and that He is our life.  He did all this because He loved us and gave Himself for us!

- Give your life to God... His love poured out in Jesus on the cross is your only hope to have forgiveness and change.  His love bought you out of being a slave to sin.  His love is what saves you --  not religion, or church membership.  God loves you!

 

Romans 10:13  "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord  will be saved!"

- Call out to God in the name of Jesus!

 

Romans 10:9,10  "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting  in salvation."

- If you know that God is knocking on your heart's door,

ask Him to come into your heart.

 

Jesus said,

Revelation 3:20a "Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him..."

- Is Jesus knocking on your heart's door?

 

  Believe in Him.

  Ask Him to come in to your heart  by faith,

 and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.

 Open the Bible to the Gospel of John and read what God says about Jesus,

 about you, and about being born again.

 

 God will help you.  He loves you.

 

You need to look for a local church where

God's word is preached.  The Bible says that we are to desire

God's word like a newborn baby desires mother's milk.

Aren't you hungry to know the truth?

 

Water baptism is one of the ways you first show that

you have been joined to Jesus.  This is an action, and actions will not save you.  However, it is an act of obedience and a symbol of commitment.

The symbolism is this:

When you go down in the water you show that

You have been crucified and buried with Him,

 

And when you come up out of the water you show that

you have been raised to walk with Him in newness of life.

(See Romans chapter 6)

 

You have been born again.

(See John chapter 3)

 

Your body has become God's temple.

Your heart is where He lives.

 

Forgiveness is yours in Jesus.

And you belong to Him.

 

You were sin's slave.

But now...

 

 You are a child of GOD!

 

John 1:12

"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name!"

 

 

 

 Glory be! Where is the Unicorn?

Chapter 6

Celebrate!

Glory be, Where is the Unicorn?

 

One might think that I put a chapter in from another book. What do Unicorn’s have to do with God’s barbeque? Unicorn(s) (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu 'horn') are mentioned nine times the Holy Scriptures. The Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance translates the word as a wild bull [from its conspicuousness (attracting attention through being unusual or remarkable, easily or clearly visible)]

Clearly visible! So where is the Unicorn?

When God had me to discover this truth He had me to study on the word "Glory". I started in Genesis the first time "glory" is mentioned is Genesis 31:1

"And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory."

Glory is translated as "weight; but only figurative in a good sense, splendor or copiousness: - glorious honor"

What does this wild creature that is clearly visible attracting attention, the Unicorn(s); have to do with the glory God bestows upon man? Well Jacob had come from rags to riches for the sake of the Kingdom of God and His purpose on earth. It took an encounter with God, acquired integrity, and perseverance over time but God brought Him to His destiny. And out of this glory that God supplied into Jacob and his family came one of the greatest barbeque events of all time. A short list of the ingredients is in Deuteronomy 32:9-14.

 

Moses writes in Deuteronomy. 32:2

"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:", a precept of the rain and the later rain (?), judge for yourselves.

Did you think that maybe this great event is where Psalms 23 came from? "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

God is showing us that even as the enemy forces trembled with fear as Jacob and his family ascended to Bethel (God’s House) to feast and celebrate God’s goodness in his day, so they also did in David’s day and so it will in our day!

Is this not what Isaiah 58:8-14 is declaring when God says that He will cause us to ride the high places and feed us with the heritage of Jacob? That he will be our "re-reward" a term declaring to us that He has our back- our protection from rear attacks.

Does not this declare the Kingdom of God: where His proclamations are adhered to and the King backs them up with His army of heavenly hosts? Can you see the importance now of God’s Great Barbeque Events? That the release of the rights of the poor and the rights of the ministry, turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. This brings the glory of God! Because of His goodness, the congregation starts to voice and praising God’s event giving Hallelujahs! Releasing the rivers of water that are welled up in their bellies, for every river has a mouth.

The atmosphere changes, for God’s presence appears, inhabiting the praise of His people. As the rivers begin to overflow and to flood the plains, and His throne is upon the Flood [Psalms 29]. Clouds of Glory form! And the rain is carried to where it is needed! Hallelujah!

The Church is the Unicorn(s), that wild bull of sacrifice. The sacrifice of praise: but also of fellowship in unity, in the unity of the corn [feast] Unit-corn. I like especially the Latin translation mention in the beginning of this chapter meaning one horn when one looks at Psalm 92:10

"But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil."

 

 

 

Psalms 133:1-3

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."

And Psalms 22:1-10

" The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah."

 

 

 

Imagine That!
By Robert E Hale   

imagine that


"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he" 
Pro 29:18

 

 

When we were young and had not much in regard to material things, our imagination was one of the greatest gift we possessed, and still is!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we were young and had not much in regard to material things, our imagination was one of the greatest gift we possessed, and still is!

From doctors to lawyers, from law men to bad men and the lists goes on.
Such imagination carries itself into careers of being role play actors and writers where together they can take us back to our childhood days and other worlds.

The problem with imagination is that the word of God denotes that mankind’s imagination is “continually evil”!

Genesis 6:5-6

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."

Notice it comes from out of the heart or center of ones spirit.

Yet this is one of the greatest traits of us being created in God’s image. See the irony? Made in His image from His imagination; Elohiym-God the Creator, the creator that is still canvassing His work in you and me and in the generations of the lives of humans. Yet Christ’s proclaims our concern for thought is but for today and the evil thereof [Matt 6:34].

There is an event in the Holy Bible that brings some light to the greatness of Unity in the congregation, which will bring God into the very company of mankind.

The story comes from Genesis 11:1-6
“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do”

Two great things are reveled here 1]that Unity brings God on the scene, and 2]nothing is held back from what we imagined to do. God breaks up this power of Unity in Genesis by scattering the children of men because their imagination was not God’s but their own.

Now how much more will God’s blessing come upon us as we come into the Unity of Imagination with God’s vision? Will anything be held back? I quote again “nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do”, does “nothing” mean nothing! Yes! For The L:ord has declared it.

When Ezekiel was caught up into the heavens. The wheel within the wheel empowered by the four creatures started carrying his spirit up into the heavens before the throne room of God.

Does the praise of worship of God enter us into the presence of His Holy Spirit that is within us? God’s word states that He inhabits the praises of Israel [His Spiritual Children] By the name of Christ that causes our spirit-self to ascend with the help of angelic forces that surround us that gather to worshiper’s aid.

Now if each that brings to the body what God has deposited in their spirit by vision or word, “flowing together” with one purpose [or total working vision], one common language [or speech], that stems from God’s Holy Spirit confirmed by His Holy Word, how much more will God show up bringing blessings as His Kingdom’s will being done on the earth.

John 5:19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.


John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.



Christ stated Mark 9:23 “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”

Interesting to me that a common phrase to pretending as a child is to ”make believe” using our imagination; the word “believe” in the New Testament is translated …to give “credit” or to “entrust”. To entrust Christ with our life in unity of the body of the assembly is to empower His Holy Spirit to work freely among us and beyond the four walls of a building.

It is the very essence of revival as we come into the precepts and principles of His confirmed Holy Word like the people did at Babel not under the guide of vanity but under the cloud of witnesses raining His Spirit’s will in Unity creating a flood of glory and peace!

This is an aspect of what the Holy Spirit recorded threw the apostle Paul as he penned “each supplying their part”.

Chapter 4
He pleads for unity of the Spirit
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:1-4 (KJV)


13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Eph 4:13-16 (KJV)

Psalm 133
Benefits from the harmony of believers
A Song of degrees of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

 

3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:

 

 for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Psalm 133:1-3 (KJV)

I understand that Christ is taking of conversion in this verse… Mat 18:3 “And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” But maybe our spiritual power of “make believing” or “catching the vision” in unity of Christ’s Holy Spirit is the door of the Kingdom.

I know Jesus is the door! I wrote Christ’s Holy Spirit. Again a vision not generated out of self but rather one than comes to the body as they worship and praise together before God and His Holy Spirit imparting to the body the vision [or visions in agreement] and the word [or words in agreement]…each supplying their part.

Faith comes by hearing, hearing that of the Word of God. Revelation from God for God’s purpose, intent, and will.

Jesus told Peter:


“He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

 

 

Matt 16:15-19 (KJV)


Revealed Faith has the Power of God upon it when it results in action. Imagine a congregation getting so caught up in the Holy Spirit declaring the Faith God has revealed to them, each supplying their part.

Last July on the telephone conference ministry there were several of us flowing together when suddenly a voice that sounded as if it were under running water delivered this word...

"My heart is steadfast, Oh God! My heart is steadfast. I will see and make know of it. I will take thee Oh Lord among new vision. I will see you among, for great is your Love, Vision to the heavens. His faithfulness reaches this passage. Be awesome Oh God! For it is the Lord who heals us: all the earth."

I have no doubt that this was the Angel of the Lord. The Conference was recorded.

With in a week many that were on the conference broke the Unity and went different ways, yet people were getting touched and healed. Of those that have remained still God moves, touches and heals blesses and encourages. Maybe one day the ones that broke the Unity and decided that they could not work out the differences will realize that the Unity of the Spirit and His Love is worth more than things that divide.

If God broke up the Unity of wicked imaginations, I can certainly believe that Satan would come against the Saint’s Unity.

Things that divide more-part, things that multiply- build up. Add to vs Take Away! Simple, huh?
Christ is recorded saying,
Matthew 12:30
    He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

 

 

Mar 13:37

And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Mar 16:15-20

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

 

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

  

 Again

 

 

"He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad".
                                                         Matthew 12:30 & Luke 11:23


Go and read John 15:1-17 for a contextual reference to these teachings, and be blessed my the most High God! To God be the Glory, Amen!
 

From the Strong’s concordance:

(ra'am); a wild bull (from its conspicuousness) :- unicorn.

Conspicuousness means easily or clearly visible, attracting attention through being unusual or remarkable. An example would be that King David danced for the Lord conspicuously before the people of Israel.

 

An un-tamable nature seems kind of like that of man. Man under the curse of Adam has no power to be tame in light of the Holy God. That is until Christ came to release that power into the ones that receive the free gift of God. John 1:12, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: "

So until the drawing of the Holy Spirit beckons one to receive this power or this "horn of salvation" [Ps 18:2] we are powerless to become tame unto God

God starts to reveal this mystery with the word "Glory". This focus evolves into the mystery of the Unicorn.

The first time "glory" is mentioned is Genesis 31:1
"And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory."

And out of this "glory" that God supplied into Jacob and his family came one of the greatest feasting events of all time. [A short list of the ingredients is in Deuteronomy 32:9-14.] As God told Jacob some twenty years later to arise and to get up to Bethel [translated "God’s house"]. Bring the vow Jacob had promised of a tenth [or a tithe] of all that God had increased him with, the result was a recorded barbeque event that made the hall of fame in God’s never-to-pass-a-way Holy Bible!

Glory is translated as "weight; but only figurative in a good sense, splendor or copiousness [abundant- produced or existing in large quantities]: - glorious honor". This also seems to be something else that is extremely obvious.

The next time the word "Glory" is mentioned Joseph, Jacob’s son, in: Genesis 45:13 when Joseph had become the second most powerful man in the known world.

Both of these guys went from being exiled with only the clothes on their back to becoming great wealthy leaders for the sake of God’s Kingdom and for His Word to come forth.

Did you think that maybe this great event of Jacob returning to Bethel is where Psalms 23 may have been inspired from? "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

 

Study for yourself the account of Jacob's going up to Bethel in Genesis 35 and the verses mentioned in Deuteronomy 32 and see if the same conclusion does not grab you.

God is showing us that even as the enemy forces trembled with fear as Jacob and his family ascended to Bethel to feast and celebrate God’s goodness in his day, so they also did in David’s day and so it will in our day, for God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.

Is this not what Isaiah 58:8-14 is declaring when God says that He will cause us to ride the high places and
feed us with the heritage of Jacob? [A line upon line match to Deut 32:13 and a precept match Deut 32:9-14] That he will be our "re-reward" a term declaring to us that He has our back- our protection from rear attacks.

Does not this declare the Kingdom of God? Where His proclamations are adhered to and the King backs them up with His army of heavenly hosts?

Can you see the importance now of God’s Great Barbeque Events? That this release of the rights of the poor and the rights of the ministry [Malachi 3:5], turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers, bring such a glory of God because of His goodness that the congregation start to voice "Hallelujahs" and Hosannas. [The right of every individual is to be able to take at least a portion of ones tithes and/or offerings and lay them on a common table in the form of food and drink. Substance they would enjoy to share with their community at large, so that the meek to can eat and be satisfied in the presence of the congregation of the saints. [Ps 22:25-31], releasing the rivers of water that are welled up in their bellies, for every river has a mouth.


The atmosphere changes, for God’s presence appears, inhabiting the praises of His people. As the rivers begin to overflow and to flood the plains, and His throne is upon the Flood [Psalms 29] .Clouds of Glory form! And the rain is carried to where it is needed! Hallelujah!

There is another event mention in the Holy Scriptures of when the "glory", God’s abundant presence, was ushered in. In Leviticus chapter 9 Moses instructs Aaron to take some animal sacrifices and to barbeque them before the Lord. [I know it does not say the word "barbeque" but it does say "burnt offerings"] "...and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you" was the result. [Lev 9:1-6]

The Church is the Unicorn(s), that wild bull of sacrifice. The sacrifice of praise, but also of fellowship in unity, in the unity of the corn, henceforth Uni-corn. Corn or grain is one of the four major ingredients for the annual feast of the harvest, called the feast of the tabernacles. Celebrated under the law but also in the New Testament and also in the Millennium reign of Christ [Zech 14]: the other ingredients or wine, oil, and the firstlings for meat. In Deut 33:17

 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Which indicates that the un-tamable unicorn that could only be lured into capture in folklore a virgin. Rather by the purity is like the people of the world that can only find a teachable tamable spirit by succumbing to that of the Holy Spirit and His word. Finding the true strength of the Horn of Salvation they become empowered able to translate from heaven to earth by the power of the Spirit of God. On the royal mission carrying forth the King or His ambassador declaring the spirit of the King’s proclamation.

So much is the exaltation that like David let go and let God ushering in the Glory of God, of which he sacrificed a bull every five spaces and distributed bread and wine to the people in celebration of the glory of God coming into the temple mount.

 

Reading in Psalms 24:3-10 "Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah."



I like especially the Latin translation mention in the beginning of this chapter meaning one horn when one looks at Psalm 92:10
"But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil."

Fresh revelation or proclamation… "…upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will prevail against it…" [Matt 16:17-19]
