In this world of uncertainties it is nice to find something that gives peace in an unmerciful world, that gives understanding in a world of confusion, assurance in a world of uncertainties.

It is my desire to share the peace and joy I have with you. No, I don't know you, but God does and He loves and cares for you. If after you surf this site and have any questions please email me at pastor@cedargrovebaptist.net.

Let's Start our Journey on the Road to Everlasting Life.

As we travel down The Roman Road to Life with God, Our first stop is at:

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
   
    The Bible tells us that all of us are not good enough to get into heaven on our merits, and we can never attain Heaven on our merits. This does not mean that we become as "wild ones" giving in to a hedonistic lifestyle. We must realize that since we have sinned, we have not attained the Glory that God desires for us.
    Since we have sinned we must pay for that sin. Just as a criminal is punished for murdering or stealing, we must suffer the consequences of our sin.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

    We also know from the Bible that God has set Death as the punishment for sin. He has set death as the consequence, and yet his Gift to us is eternal life. We attain this eternal life through a relationship that has been cleansed in the blood of Jesus. Jesus, God's Son has set us free from the consequences of death by suffering the punishment for us.

Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

    Now it becomes our part, in the first passage it is based upon us, our Sin. In the second passage we are told of God's Love for us. The third passage brings the ball back into our court. It is our turn to confess that Jesus is the Lord and that He suffered, bled, and died for me and that God raised Him from the dead. If you say and believe that, then you will be saved from eternal torment, instead you will spend eternity with God Himself. 

Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

    Now it is God's favor to us that we who call upon Jesus as our Lord and Savior will be in Heaven with Him. We shall be saved the torment of Hell that is ours because of our sin.

    This is all it takes, a relationship with Jesus. If you believe that there is more to it than that you are wrong. Once you call upon the name of Jesus you will desire to please Him and thus follow His teachings, in other words you will do good deeds, you will strive to earn your place in Heaven. You should know that you are already in, the good deeds you do are because you want to please your Master.
