🎵Happy April (Convert A) Fool Day

If I could create a dream picture, this would be close to it. A steady flow of people headed toward the Cross of Christ and dropping their heavy bags along the way.

There are so many things in this life to make a person weary, and people deal with that weariness in a multitude of different ways. But when most people find The Way, The Truth, and The Life that is YahShua (Jesus) HaMashiach (Messiah), they realize the futility of all the other ways.

So I’m going to keep this short and just list the stops (Scriptures) from The Romans Road for those who are searching. And if you are one who has said in your heart that God is not real, this is your chance to change from the definition of being called a “fool” in God’s Word to instead being called a “son” or “daughter” of God. Whether you believe but don’t serve, or you don’t believe at all, I’d love to share something that can make you hungry for the blessings you’ve been missing in The Lord.

First stop, Romans 3:23 with understanding that no one is perfect…

Romans 3:23 BSB
[23] for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Next stop, Romans 5;8 with hope because God doesn’t wait for you to be perfect to offer a sacrifice for your sin…

Romans 5:8 BSB
[8] But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

https://bible.com/bible/3034/rom.5.8.BSB

Then a stop with knowledge that imperfection leads to death but perfect blood changes everything…

Romans 6:23 BSB
[23] For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And the home base with mercy and grace that welcomes you when you admit you are powerless to fix your own sin and believe that the greater power of God’s gift of salvation is what you need and want…

Romans 10:9 BSB
[9] that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

If you’ve made a new decision to serve God today, welcome to the family. Please share your story in the comments or write to me and share it privately. If it’s not a new story, I still love to hear conversion stories because they are powerful and inspiring. At whatever point you made (or make in the future) a choice to follow The Lord, know that all of heaven rejoiced (or will rejoice) more than one who finds buried treasure.

Luke 15:10 BSB
[10] In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

If you’re still thinking about it, here’s a great study page at Bible Hub where you might find some answers to your deeper questions: https://biblehub.com/faq/How_can_I_Follow_Jesus.htm

And now, enjoy the pretty guitar and vocals by Lydia Walker as she sings about a decision to follow Jesus…
