The Good News! Romans 10:14-21 New Living Translation (NLT)🕊

Alicia J. Alexander, MSL

Romans 10:14-21 New Living Translation (NLT)🕊 The Good News!🕊 14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” 16 But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, “Lord, who has believed our message?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. 18 But I … Continue reading The Good News!

Justified Through Faith! Romans 4:13-25  English Standard Version (ESV)🕊

Alicia J. Alexander, MSL

Romans 4:13-25 English Standard Version (ESV)🕊 Justified Through Faith!🕊 The Promise Realized Through Faith🕊 13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. 15 For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression. 16 That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who … Continue reading Justified Through Faith!

Saving Faith Romans 10:6-13 Living Bible (TLB)🕊

Alicia J. Alexander, MSL

Romans 10:6-13 Living Bible (TLB)🕊 6 But the salvation that comes through faith says, “You don’t need to search the heavens to find Christ and bring him down to help you,” and, 7 “You don’t need to go among the dead to bring Christ back to life again.” 8 For salvation that comes from trusting Christ—which is what we preach—is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. 9 For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be … Continue reading Saving Faith Romans 10:6-13 Living Bible (TLB)🕊
