We have a major problem: we cannot be saved by obeying the law. But according to Romans 8:3, what is God’s answer to this major problem?
Have you put your faith in Jesus alone for salvation? Or have you been putting your faith in other things to be saved?
We ALL need salvation no matter what our background is. How can this build your confidence when sharing the Good News to someone that’s not saved?

Romans 10: 5-13 NLT 5 For Moses writes that the law’s way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands. 6 But faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (to bring Christ down to earth). 7 And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’ (to bring Christ back to life again).” 8 In fact, it says,“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 8:3 NLT - The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
Acts 4:12 NLT - There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
John 3:16 ESV - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
If you prioritize taking care of the needy, you will never be in lack.
Proverbs 28:27 (NLT)
Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.
Encourage everyone to give their tithes and offerings.
