    Believing Matters

    Jon Fredricks

    Today's Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 NIV

    __________

    Romans 1:16-17 NIV

    16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith."

    Romans 1:16 AMPC

    For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,

    Matthew 17:20 NIV

    He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

    1) CHANGE MY BIAS

    Romans 1:16 NIV

    16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel...

    1 Thessalonians 5:21 NIV

    21 but test them all; hold on to what is good

    1 John 4:1 NIV

    Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

    2) DIG FOR THE TRUTH

    Romans 1:17 NIV

    17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed...

    2 Corinthians 4:4 NIV

    4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

    John 16:13 NIV

    13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

    Jeremiah 29:13 NIV

    13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

    John 8:31-32 NIV

    31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

    3) CHOOSE YOUR STEPS

    Romans 1:16-17 NIV

    For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes...

    John 3:16 NIV

    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    Romans 10:9-10 NIV

    9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

    4) TRUST GOD'S CERTAIN WORK

    Romans 1:17 NIV

    17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

    1 John 1:9 NIV

    9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

    Romans 10:13 NIV

    13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

    John 8:36 NIV

    36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

    HouseParenting (Part 1)Jon FredricksToday's Scripture: Genesis 1:27-28 NIV__________ Genesis 1:27-28 NIV27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” Ephesians 2:10 NIV10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Mark 1:17 NIV17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 2 Timothy 2:2 NIV2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 1) WALKDeuteronomy 6:4-9 NIV4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Micah 6:8 NIVHe hath shown thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV9 For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.” 1 Corinthians 13:8 NIVLove never fails. Jeremiah 17:7-9 NIV7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green.It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” 2) WATCHPsalm 139:13 NIVFor you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Romans 12:4 NIVFor just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, Proverbs 20:5 NIVThe purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. Proverbs 22:6 ERVTeach children in a way that fits their needs, and even when they are old, they will not leave the right path. 3) WRESTLE2 Chronicles 7:14 NIVif my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Proverbs 15:29 NIVThe Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. James 5:16b NIV… The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 4) WAITPsalm 86:15 NIVBut you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. 2 Peter 3:9 NIVThe Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. James 5:7 NIVBe patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. Romans 8:25 NIVBut if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 1 Corinthians 4:5 NIVTherefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. Romans 8:25 NIVBut if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
