Salvation teaching Passion of Christ in Matthew and Romans

Here is a salvation teaching featuring the passion of Christ that  told in the final three chapters of the gospel of Matthew, chapters 26, 27 and 28 along with a salvation teaching in the epistle of Romans.

In Matthew chapter 26 Jesus has the last supper with His disciples and is then betrayed and arrested, and also Peter, as foretold denies Jesus three times. Jesus’ hearings begin in this chapter

(Matthew 26:1)  And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

(Matthew 26:2)  Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

(Matthew 26:3)  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

(Matthew 26:4)  And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.

(Matthew 26:5)  But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

(Matthew 26:6)  Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

(Matthew 26:7)  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

(Matthew 26:8)  But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?

(Matthew 26:9)  For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

(Matthew 26:10)  When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

(Matthew 26:11)  For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

(Matthew 26:12)  For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

(Matthew 26:13)  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.

(Matthew 26:14)  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

(Matthew 26:15)  And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

(Matthew 26:16)  And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

(Matthew 26:17)  Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

(Matthew 26:18)  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.

(Matthew 26:19)  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

(Matthew 26:20)  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

(Matthew 26:21)  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

(Matthew 26:22)  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

(Matthew 26:23)  And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

(Matthew 26:24)  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

(Matthew 26:25)  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

(Matthew 26:26)  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

(Matthew 26:27)  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

(Matthew 26:28)  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

(Matthew 26:29)  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

(Matthew 26:30)  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

(Matthew 26:31)  Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

(Matthew 26:32)  But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

(Matthew 26:33)  Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

(Matthew 26:34)  Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

(Matthew 26:35)  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

(Matthew 26:36)  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

(Matthew 26:37)  And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

(Matthew 26:38)  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

(Matthew 26:39)  And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

(Matthew 26:40)  And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

(Matthew 26:41)  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

(Matthew 26:42)  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

(Matthew 26:43)  And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

(Matthew 26:44)  And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

(Matthew 26:45)  Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

(Matthew 26:46)  Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

(Matthew 26:47)  And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

(Matthew 26:48)  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

(Matthew 26:49)  And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.

(Matthew 26:50)  And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

(Matthew 26:51)  And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

(Matthew 26:52)  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

(Matthew 26:53)  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

(Matthew 26:54)  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

(Matthew 26:55)  In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.

(Matthew 26:56)  But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

(Matthew 26:57)  And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

(Matthew 26:58)  But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

(Matthew 26:59)  Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

(Matthew 26:60)  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

(Matthew 26:61)  And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

(Matthew 26:62)  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

(Matthew 26:63)  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

(Matthew 26:64)  Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

(Matthew 26:65)  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

(Matthew 26:66)  What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

(Matthew 26:67)  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

(Matthew 26:68)  Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

(Matthew 26:69)  Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

(Matthew 26:70)  But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

(Matthew 26:71)  And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

(Matthew 26:72)  And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

(Matthew 26:73)  And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

(Matthew 26:74)  Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

(Matthew 26:75)  And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

In Matthew 27 Jesus is taken before Pilate, and is then condemned to be crucified and is taken to be whipped and is taken to Calvary and there He  is indeed crucified, making atonement there for all mankind’s sins through giving His life for us to pay our sin debt to God for us. His body is then taken down from the cross and then is buried in a tomb, but would rise again.

(Matthew 27:1)  When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

(Matthew 27:2)  And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

(Matthew 27:3)  Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

(Matthew 27:4)  Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

(Matthew 27:5)  And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

(Matthew 27:6)  And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

(Matthew 27:7)  And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

(Matthew 27:8)  Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

(Matthew 27:9)  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

(Matthew 27:10)  And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

(Matthew 27:11)  And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

(Matthew 27:12)  And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

(Matthew 27:13)  Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

(Matthew 27:14)  And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.

(Matthew 27:15)  Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.

(Matthew 27:16)  And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

(Matthew 27:17)  Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?

(Matthew 27:18)  For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

(Matthew 27:19)  When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

(Matthew 27:20)  But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

(Matthew 27:21)  The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

(Matthew 27:22)  Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

(Matthew 27:23)  And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

(Matthew 27:24)  When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.

(Matthew 27:25)  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

(Matthew 27:26)  Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

(Matthew 27:27)  Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

(Matthew 27:28)  And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

(Matthew 27:29)  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

(Matthew 27:30)  And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

(Matthew 27:31)  And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

(Matthew 27:32)  And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

(Matthew 27:33)  And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,

(Matthew 27:34)  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

(Matthew 27:35)  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.

(Matthew 27:36)  And sitting down they watched him there;

(Matthew 27:37)  And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

(Matthew 27:38)  Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.

(Matthew 27:39)  And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

(Matthew 27:40)  And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

(Matthew 27:41)  Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

(Matthew 27:42)  He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

(Matthew 27:43)  He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

(Matthew 27:44)  The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

(Matthew 27:45)  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

(Matthew 27:46)  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

(Matthew 27:47)  Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

(Matthew 27:48)  And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

(Matthew 27:49)  The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

(Matthew 27:50)  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

(Matthew 27:51)  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

(Matthew 27:52)  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

(Matthew 27:53)  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

(Matthew 27:54)  Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

(Matthew 27:55)  And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

(Matthew 27:56)  Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

(Matthew 27:57)  When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

(Matthew 27:58)  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

(Matthew 27:59)  And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

(Matthew 27:60)  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

(Matthew 27:61)  And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

(Matthew 27:62)  Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

(Matthew 27:63)  Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

(Matthew 27:64)  Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

(Matthew 27:65)  Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

(Matthew 27:66)  So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

In Matthew chapter 28 Jesus is raised from the dead and all that takes place is described in the chapter including the angel and visits from the risen Jesus. The risen Jesus goes on to give the great commission to conclude this chapter and gospel to go teach through the world for He will be with us always.

(Matthew 28:1)  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

(Matthew 28:2)  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

(Matthew 28:3)  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

(Matthew 28:4)  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

(Matthew 28:5)  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

(Matthew 28:6)  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

(Matthew 28:7)  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

(Matthew 28:8)  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

(Matthew 28:9)  And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

(Matthew 28:10)  Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

(Matthew 28:11)  Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

(Matthew 28:12)  And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

(Matthew 28:13)  Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

(Matthew 28:14)  And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

(Matthew 28:15)  So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

(Matthew 28:16)  Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

(Matthew 28:17)  And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

(Matthew 28:18)  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

(Matthew 28:19)  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

(Matthew 28:20)  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

As we are to teach all nations as commanded to by the above commissioning and command given by Jesus,  I am now concluding this teaching with a salvation teaching which is taken from the epistle to the Romans

The first group of scriptures is a statement of purpose to preach the gospel for as Paul states I am not ashamed of the gospel and this word is given so people are indeed without excuse before God

(Romans 1:14)  I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

(Romans 1:15)  So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

(Romans 1:16)  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

(Romans 1:17)  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

(Romans 1:18)  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

(Romans 1:19)  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

(Romans 1:20)  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

In Romans 3 9- 12 it states both  Jews and Gentiles are under sin and none have done right at all.

(Romans 3:9)  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

(Romans 3:10)  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

(Romans 3:11)  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

(Romans 3:12)  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There is no difference here all have fallen short of God’s glory but all can be justified through Jesus, as stated in Romans 3 verses 21-27

(Romans 3:21)  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

(Romans 3:22)  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

(Romans 3:23)  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

(Romans 3:24)  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

(Romans 3:25)  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

(Romans 3:26)  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

(Romans 3:27)  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

In these two passages in Romans chapter 5 Paul explains through the disobedience of one man all were made sinners but through the obedience of one man all were made righteous as Jesus did die for us while we were weak and yet sinners

(Romans 5:6)  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

(Romans 5:7)  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

(Romans 5:8)  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

(Romans 5:9)  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

(Romans 5:10)  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

(Romans 5:11)  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

(Romans 5:12)  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

(Romans 5:19)  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

(Romans 5:20)  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

(Romans 5:21)  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now believers are slaves of righteousness and not sin, and also the wages of sin are death and the gift of God is life eternal through Jesus as explained in Romans 6

(Romans 6:20)  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

(Romans 6:21)  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

(Romans 6:22)  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

(Romans 6:23)  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This passage states how the word is near us and needs to be preached, too and also gives the instructions to be saved which are mainly to confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth and believe that God raised Him from the dead so that you will be saved.

(Romans 10:8)  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

(Romans 10:9)  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:11)  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

(Romans 10:13)  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

(Romans 10:14)  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

(Romans 10:15)  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

(Romans 10:16)  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

(Romans 10:17)  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In the first five verses of Romans chapter five state that we are now at peace with God, can develop patience through trails and also get the Holy Spirit

(Romans 5:1)  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

(Romans 5:2)  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

(Romans 5:3)  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

(Romans 5:4)  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

(Romans 5:5)  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

In these two passages in Romans 8 it is stated there is no condemnation anymore and ask if God is with us who can be against us, and that nothing will separate the believer from the love of Christ

(Romans 8:1)  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

(Romans 8:2)  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

(Romans 8:31)  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

(Romans 8:32)  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

(Romans 8:33)  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

(Romans 8:34)  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

(Romans 8:35)  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

(Romans 8:36)  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

(Romans 8:37)  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

(Romans 8:38)  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

(Romans 8:39)  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Finally in Romans 12 we are now to present our bodies as a living sacrifice and are not to be conformed by the word but transformed by the renewing of our mind. We also are now all part of one body.

(Romans 12:1)  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

(Romans 12:2)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

(Romans 12:3)  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

(Romans 12:4)  For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

(Romans 12:5)  So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

The message in the epistle of Romans  especially clearly explains the salvation thing from all being short of God’s glory but how God sent Jesus in love to take care of the sin problem so that we would have the gift of eternal life and not death as we all deserve too, and are the wages of sin. God does not any to die eternally but wants people to be saved, for relationship with the believer. God sent Jesus to die wanting this love relationship restored and Jesus complied for the same for us. This death of Jesus on the cross then atoned for our sins which had separated us from God, and now through the gift of God the relationship which God wanted with man can now be restored. There is nothing that can be compared with a relationship with God or nothing that can even come close. I am now including a prayer which will enable you to invite Jesus in your heart and begin this wonderful and incomparable relationship with God. Please pray this prayer with me

Heavenly Father I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I confess to You that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I confess and repent of all of my sins and unrighteousness. Right now I confess with my mouth Jesus as the Lord of my life and believe in my heart that You, God did indeed raise Him from the dead. I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me of all of my  sins and unrighteousness and for saving me. I thank You for sending Your Son to die in my place for my sins, and for the inexpressible gift of eternal life that I now claim through the death of Jesus on the cross. Thank You, Lord, again for saving me. In the Name of Jesus I pray Amen

God bless you and yours
