THE LAW SHOWS OUR NEED FOR A SAVIOR

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 - "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,  not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Romans 3:19-20 - "Now we know that whatever the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.  Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the Law is the knowledge of sin."

Galatians 3:21-25 - "...if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the Law.   But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.   But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the Law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.  Therefore the Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.   But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."

Romans 3:21-26 - "But now the righteousness of God apart from the Law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.  For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,  Whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."

Romans 10:8-13 - "But what does it say?  The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the Word of faith which we preach):  that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.  For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

 

May this be true for you - Behold, today is the day of salvation!

Today is the day you recognize Jesus as your Lord and Savior!
