A B C’s Never Disappoints

Romans 10: ⁹ If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. ¹¹ The scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.” ¹² This includes everyone, because there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles; God is the same Lord of all and richly blesses all who call to him. ¹³ As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.”

 

============

 

After the ridicule of my kinky hair, I combed it so I could fit in. This was met with “Your clothes are too raggedy.” I got a job and bought some clothes. This was met with “Your glasses look funny.” I saved up and bought new glasses. This was met with “You are too skinny.” Too skinny for what I wondered. I was disappointed.

 

• There have been times when I did not feel like I fit in.
• There have been times when I did not feel like anyone cared.
• There have been times when I did not feel like I would ever be accepted.

 

Paul wrote the best news I could ever have heard. If I would confess that JESUS is LORD and  believe that GOD raised JESUS from being dead, I will be saved. He then states that it does not matter if I am a Jew or Gentile, GOD will include me, any sin, any length of time sinning.

 

• GOD wants me to acknowledge JESUS is LORD of all.
• GOD wants me to believe that HE raised JESUS from the dead.
• GOD wants me to confess that I am a sinner in need of JESUS as my Savior.

 

It is as simple as that. These wonderful words are met with even better words. “Whoever believes in HIM will not be disappointed.” You mean I don’t have to try to have the latest clothes, or hair style or wonder if my body shape would keep me out of the crowd? No.

 

GOD never disappoints. When I believe in JESUS, HE lovingly brings me into HIS family. HE then places the HOLY SPIRIT inside me to guide me, comfort me and plea for me. I can call to HIM with any trouble and HE will always be there for me. I acknowledge I need JESUS and believe in HIS saving power and I confess I am a sinner.

 

• Are you weary from trying to fit in with that group, job or people?
• Do you think your sin has been going on too long and no one will help you?
• Will you acknowledge JESUS is LORD and believe that GOD raised HIM from the dead and confess you need HIM as your Savior so you will be saved today?
