EASTER AT BAYSIDE

APRIL 16 / 17, 2022

ROMANS 1:16-17a 

For I am not ashamed of the gospel,

because it is the power of God

that brings salvation

to everyone who believes 

first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

For in the gospel

the righteousness of God is revealed

– a righteousness that is by faith from first to last …

THREE TRUTHS THAT

CHANGE EVERYTHING

1. What

“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 3:23-24

2. What

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”  ROMANS 5:6-8

“For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.”  ROMANS 6:5

3. What

“… If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all – how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”  ROMANS 8:31B-32

FINAL THOUGHT 

“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.”  ROMANS 10:9

A Prayer of Receiving

Father God thank you for sending Jesus to take the penalty for sin that should have been mine. Today I receive his gift of forgiveness. This life you have given me I place back into your hands. Guide me now and let me live for your love every day and in every way.

Amen
