Sermon on the Mount special teaching

I am led to do a special teaching featuring the three chapters in Matthew that comprise the Sermon on the Mount, namely chapters 5, 6, and 7 because they have such powerful life application to use even nowadays that it would be remiss to not have them together as their own teaching all to themselves. I am also adding to this a salvation teaching so you can help others be saved or even be saved for yourself

Matthew chapter 5 starts off with saying blessed are the humble and other valuable traits, to reconcile ourselves with those who we might offend and even to be at peace with our enemies, and to love them. We also are the salt and the light of the world

(Matthew 5:1)  And seeing the crowds, He went up into the mountain, and after He had sat down, His disciples approached Him.

(Matthew 5:2)  And opening His mouth, He began to teach them, saying:

(Matthew 5:3)  "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:4)  Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

(Matthew 5:5)  Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

(Matthew 5:6)  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

(Matthew 5:7)  Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

(Matthew 5:8)  Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

(Matthew 5:9)  Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

(Matthew 5:10)  Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:11)  "Blessed are you whenever they revile you, and they persecute you, and they say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

(Matthew 5:12)  Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

(Matthew 5:13)  "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men.

(Matthew 5:14)  You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

(Matthew 5:15)  Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines on everything in the house.

(Matthew 5:16)  Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and they may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

(Matthew 5:17)  "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

(Matthew 5:18)  For assuredly I say to you, until heaven and earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle shall by no means pass away from the law until all things are fulfilled.

(Matthew 5:19)  Whoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men thus, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:20)  For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

(Matthew 5:21)  "You have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not kill,' and whoever kills will be liable to the judgment.

(Matthew 5:22)  But I say to you that whoever gets angry with his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, 'Empty-head!' will be liable to the council. But whoever says, ' fool!' will be liable to the fiery hell.

(Matthew 5:23)  Therefore if you offer your gift on the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

(Matthew 5:24)  leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

(Matthew 5:25)  Make friends with your adversary quickly, while you are on the road with him, lest your adversary hand you over to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be cast into prison.

(Matthew 5:26)  Assuredly I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

(Matthew 5:27)  "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'

(Matthew 5:28)  But I say to you, that whoever looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

(Matthew 5:29)  If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is better for you that one of your members be lost, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

(Matthew 5:30)  And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is better for you that one of your members be lost, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

(Matthew 5:31)  "Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.'

(Matthew 5:32)  "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for a matter of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorcee commits adultery.

(Matthew 5:33)  "Again you have heard that it was said to the ancients, 'You shall not swear falsely, but you shall pay your oaths to the Lord.'

(Matthew 5:34)  "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;

(Matthew 5:35)  nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

(Matthew 5:36)  Nor shall you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.

(Matthew 5:37)  But let your word be 'Yes', 'yes,' ; or 'No,' 'no.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

(Matthew 5:38)  "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'

(Matthew 5:39)  But I say to you not to resist an evil person. But whoever shall slap you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

(Matthew 5:40)  And to the one desiring to sue you and to take your tunic, let him have your cloak also.

(Matthew 5:41)  And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

(Matthew 5:42)  Give to the one asking you, and to the one desiring to borrow from you, do not turn away.

(Matthew 5:43)  "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and you shall hate your enemy.'

(Matthew 5:44)  But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,

(Matthew 5:45)  so that you may prove to be sons of your Father in heaven; because He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and He sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

(Matthew 5:46)  For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

(Matthew 5:47)  And if you greet your friends only, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

(Matthew 5:48)  You therefore be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus gives instructions on how to give to the poor, how to pray with a sample prayer, and even how to fast, doing all to God and hidden to man. We are to lay up treasures in heaven, not earth, serving God not money and to trust God for all things and take things one day at a time for the current day has enough to deal with without thinking on the future

(Matthew 6:1)  "Take care not to be doing your charitable giving before men, so as to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have not a reward from your Father in heaven.

(Matthew 6:2)  Whenever therefore you do charitable giving, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by men. Assuredly I say to you, they receive their reward in full.

(Matthew 6:3)  But when you do charitable giving, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

(Matthew 6:4)  so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will Himself reward you openly.

(Matthew 6:5)  "And whenever you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues, and on the streetcorners, so that they may be seen by men. Assuredly I say to you, that they receive their reward in full.

(Matthew 6:6)  But you, whenever you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

(Matthew 6:7)  But when you pray, do not babble like the heathen, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

(Matthew 6:8)  Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.

(Matthew 6:9)  Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.

(Matthew 6:10)  Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

(Matthew 6:11)  Give us this day our daily bread.

(Matthew 6:12)  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

(Matthew 6:13)  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

(Matthew 6:14)  "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

(Matthew 6:15)  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

(Matthew 6:16)  "Moreover, when you fast, do not become gloomy, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly I say to you, that they receive their reward in full.

(Matthew 6:17)  But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,

(Matthew 6:18)  so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.

(Matthew 6:19)  "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves dig through and steal;

(Matthew 6:20)  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not dig through and steal.

(Matthew 6:21)  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

(Matthew 6:22)  "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.

(Matthew 6:23)  But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

(Matthew 6:24)  "No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other, or else he will be devoted to the one, and he will despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

(Matthew 6:25)  "Because of this I say to you, do not worry about your life--what you shall eat, or what you shall drink--nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

(Matthew 6:26)  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap, nor do they gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they?

(Matthew 6:27)  Which of you by worrying is able to add one cubit to his stature?

(Matthew 6:28)  So why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor, nor spin;

(Matthew 6:29)  and yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

(Matthew 6:30)  But if God thus clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

(Matthew 6:31)  Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we put on?'

(Matthew 6:32)  "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

(Matthew 6:33)  But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

(Matthew 6:34)  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

In Matthew chapter 7 Jesus warns strongly against hypocrisy, encourages us to ask for what we need, warns us to keep the narrow road and few will find it, warns against false prophets(teachers) and that every tree is known by its fruit, warns us to do the Father’s will to make heaven, and to heed what Jesus says and do it, to be like a house built on a rock and not sand.

(Matthew 7:1)  "Judge not, lest you be judged.

(Matthew 7:2)  For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with what measure you measure, it will be measured back to you.

(Matthew 7:3)  And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye?

(Matthew 7:4)  Or how will you say to your brother, 'Permit me to remove the speck from your eye'; and look, there is a plank in your own eye?

(Matthew 7:5)  Hypocrite! First remove the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

(Matthew 7:6)  Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

(Matthew 7:7)  "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

(Matthew 7:8)  For everyone that asks receives, and he that seeks finds, and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.

(Matthew 7:9)  Or what man is there among you who, if his son should ask for bread, will give to him a stone?

(Matthew 7:10)  And if he should ask for a fish, he will give to him a serpent?

(Matthew 7:11)  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, by how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

(Matthew 7:12)  Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, thus also you do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

(Matthew 7:13)  "Enter in through the narrow gate; because wide is the gate, and broad is the way which leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in through it.

(Matthew 7:14)  How narrow the gate, and confined the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it!

(Matthew 7:15)  "But beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

(Matthew 7:16)  You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grape clusters from thorns, or figs from thistles?

(Matthew 7:17)  Thus every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces evil fruit.

(Matthew 7:18)  A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce good fruit.

(Matthew 7:19)  Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

(Matthew 7:20)  Consequently, by their fruits you shall know them.

(Matthew 7:21)  "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

(Matthew 7:22)  Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name we cast out demons, and in Your name we did many mighty works?'

(Matthew 7:23)  "And then I will confess to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you who work iniquity!'

(Matthew 7:24)  "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock:

(Matthew 7:25)  and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.

(Matthew 7:26)  And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

(Matthew 7:27)  and the rain came down, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And its fall was great."

(Matthew 7:28)  And so it was, when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

(Matthew 7:29)  for He taught them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.

Now I will also include a salvation teaching so you can share with others and have that special relationship with the Lord as well. The following verses state how mankind is fallen and all do wrong but that is why out of love God sent Jesus into the world

(Romans 3:10)  as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

(Romans 3:11)  no one understands; no one seeks for God.

(Romans 3:12)  All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one

(Romans 3:23)  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

(Romans 3:24)  and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

(Romans 3:25)  whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

(Romans 3:26)  It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus

These verses in Romans chapter 5 states that Jesus died for us while we were weak and that as sin came through one man righteousness came from one man’s obedience- Jesus to death so that the gift of God can be given- this is verses 6 through 21

(Romans 5:6)  For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

(Romans 5:7)  For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die--

(Romans 5:8)  but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

(Romans 5:9)  Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

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

(Romans 5:11)  More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

(Romans 5:12)  Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned--

(Romans 5:13)  for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

(Romans 5:14)  Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

(Romans 5:15)  But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

(Romans 5:16)  And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.

(Romans 5:17)  For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

(Romans 5:18)  Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

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

(Romans 5:20)  Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

(Romans 5:21)  so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The last four verses in Romans 6 further add to the point of our need of a savior to avoid the wages of sin and how Jesus did that for us

(Romans 6:20)  For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

(Romans 6:21)  But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

(Romans 6:22)  But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

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

Jesus expresses His purpose of coming to the Earth here in these verses

(John 3:16)  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

(John 3:17)  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

(John 3:18)  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

(John 3:19)  And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

(John 3:20)  For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

(John 3:21)  But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."

Here John the Baptist is speaking of Jesus in these two verses

(John 3:35)  The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

(John 3:36)  Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

These  verses in John chapter 5 further drive home the point of Jesus having life for His believers

(John 5:19)  Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

(John 5:20)  For the Father loves the Son, and shows to Him all things which He Himself does; and greater works than these He will show Him, so that you may marvel.

(John 5:21)  For as the Father raises up the dead and gives life, thus also the Son gives life to whom He wills.

(John 5:22)  For the Father judges no one, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

(John 5:23)  so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him

(John 5:24)  Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

(John 5:25)  "Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

As some of the above verses do remind us, this verse really drives home the point that eternal life from heaven is really a gift from God and cannot be earned in any way by our own works  so God Himself has provided the means to escape hell and to have eternal life with Him.

(Ephesians 2:8)  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

(Ephesians 2:9)  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

(2 Corinthians 9:15)  Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

The scriptures in 1 Timothy which encourage prayer and supplication for God wants all people to be saved as stated in these verses

(1 Timothy 2:1)  First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

(1 Timothy 2:2)  for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

(1 Timothy 2:3)  This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

(1 Timothy 2:4)  who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

(1 Timothy 2:5)  For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

(1 Timothy 2:6)  who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

These verses in 1 Peter shed more light on this purpose of Jesus

(1 Peter 2:24)  He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

(1 Peter 2:25)  For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls

That message also is here in this 1 Peter 3 verse

(1 Peter 3:18)  For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit

And so does these two verses in 2 Peter 3 for time is nothing to the Lord and He wants all to come to repentance and is patient

(2 Peter 3:8)  But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

(2 Peter 3:9)  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

These two verses in 1 John 2 also state how Jesus was the propitiation for our sins and all mankind’s

(1 John 2:1)  My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

(1 John 2:2)  He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

Also a very similar message is given in these two verses in 1 John chapter 4 how God loved us and sent Jesus to be a propitiation for our sins

(1 John 4:9)  In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

(1 John 4:10)  In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

And here is this passage in 1 John 5 which reinforces the 1 Timothy passage well, stating the power of prayer but also the gospel message of how it is necessary to have the Son of God to have eternal life.

(1 John 5:5)  Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

(1 John 5:6)  This is he who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

(1 John 5:7)  For there are three that testify:

(1 John 5:8)  the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.

(1 John 5:9)  If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.

(1 John 5:10)  Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.

(1 John 5:11)  And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

(1 John 5:12)  Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

(1 John 5:13)  I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life.

(1 John 5:14)  And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

(1 John 5:15)  And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

Here is a message from Jude to build ourselves in the live of God for the mercy of Jeus leading to eternal life

(Jude 1:20)  But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

(Jude 1:21)  keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.

Here Jesus Himself says that He is the only way to Heaven and the Father and in so doing avoid hell that Jesus Himself spoke of

(John 14:6)  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

But Jesus also makes it clear in Revelation that He indeed is seeking people always

(Revelation 3:20)  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

The verses in Romans ten state how we are to be saved, believing the word which is near to us, to hear it then confess Jesus as Lord and believe God has raised Him from the dead- in that is our key to salvation

 (Romans 10:8)  But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);

(Romans 10:9)  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

(Romans 10:10)  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

(Romans 10:11)  For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

(Romans 10:12)  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

(Romans 10:13)  For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

(Romans 10:14)  How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

(Romans 10:15)  And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

(Romans 10:16)  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

(Romans 10:17)  So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Now those people are now a new creation in Christ

(2 Corinthians 5:17)  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come

And also at peace with God being justified by faith

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

(Romans 5:2)  Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

These two verses promise no condemnation with those in Jesus

(Romans 8:1)  There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 8:2)  For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death

Then it also asks if God is for us then who or what can be against us, in these verses towards the end of Romans chapter 8

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

(Romans 8:32)  He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

(Romans 8:33)  Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

(Romans 8:34)  Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding 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 danger, or sword?

(Romans 8:36)  As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

(Romans 8:37)  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

And nothing can now separate us from the love of God in Jesus, either

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

(Romans 8:39)  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am sure you have now seen enough now to be ready to pray to be saved. I am now including a short prayer that you can say to ensure that you are saved and have eternal life when you die, going to heaven to be with Jesus forever and not end up going to hell.

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

God bless you and yours
