@Weebeastie6 10-4 means “Roger that “ or “ok/ affirmative” to truckers, plumbers or some sort of collective.

Probably unrelated,
But, some of these (not sure what to call them other than evil affiliated humans), believe in charging symbols, memetic magic(Pepe), etc..
Probably nothing 😃

Your eternity matters. A cup of pleasure now is not worth the ocean of pain that is to come.

Sin is never better than the forgiveness Christ freely gives through faith in him.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

When Satan temps me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end to all my sin

Because a sinless savior died
My sinful soul is counted clean
For God the just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me

Romans 1:18 says, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.”

Notice where Paul begins his explanation of the gospel: the wrath of God.

Romans 1:18 begins the first major section of the epistle, where Paul explains why we need the gospel in the first place. Before he tells us about justification, righteousness, grace, faith, and salvation, he tells us about the terrible condition from which we need to be saved. Paul does not begin with, “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life.” He begins with the wrath of God.

And we need to understand what Paul means by the “wrath of God.” This is not God losing His temper. It is not irrational or selfish anger. It is God’s holy and righteous response to sin. God hates wickedness because He is holy. His wrath is not a defect in His character; it is an expression of His perfect holiness and justice.

We understand this even on a human level. A loving parent should be angry when his child does something wicked. Not because the parent is selfish, but because love desires what is good and righteousness demands that evil be opposed. A parent who never disciplines his child because he is afraid of making him uncomfortable is not demonstrating greater love. He is failing to love properly. How much more does the perfectly holy God rightly respond to human wickedness?

Our problem is that we have no adequate frame of reference for the holiness of God. We have never experienced absolute, infinite, perfect holiness. We have never stood in the presence of a God who is completely untouched by sin. We are sinners trying to comprehend holiness while being naturally inclined toward unrighteousness.

And Paul says that this unrighteousness does something profound: it suppresses the truth.

Man IS NOT naturally NEUTRAL toward God. Sin does not merely make us ignorant of the truth; it causes us to suppress the truth. We push it down. We resist it. We exchange it for lies because we love our sin more than we love God.

That is why the gospel begins here.

If you tell a man he needs to be rescued, but never tell him that he is drowning, why would he reach for the life preserver? If he does not understand the danger he is in, why would he understand why he needs saving?

The gospel is good news—but good news only makes sense when we understand the bad news.

Paul will spend the opening chapters of Romans demonstrating that every one of us stands guilty before a holy God. Jew and Gentile. Religious and irreligious. Moral and immoral. We have all sinned. We have all suppressed the truth. We have all fallen short.

And that is precisely why Romans 1:16 is such glorious news. Paul says, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation.”

Salvation from what?

Romans 1:18 tells us.

The gospel is not merely about making your life better. It is not about helping you reach your potential. It is not about making you happier, more successful, or more fulfilled.

It is about saving guilty sinners from the righteous wrath of a holy God.

And once you understand the depth of the bad news, the cross becomes infinitely more glorious.

Christ did not come merely to improve sinners.

He came to save them.

For the one who thinks they may be beyond the mercy of God.

Scripture tells us that God's mercies are new every morning. I think of the cold crispness of the fresh morning air and how it really does seem like each day is a new thing and not just a continuation of indistinguishable, consecutive moments. I've had truly hard days (as you have) where I couldn't wait to just get to the next morning when it felt fresh and somehow removed from the pain of the prior day. It's poetic and impactful to me to think of God's mercies as "new" after not only hard times but my own personal failings and shame. His mercy is not old or used up. It is not running out and his love is not drawing thin.

To reinforce this far more I ask you to consider the context where Scripture says that God's "mercies are new every morning." It's in the book of Lamentations; a book of terrible mourning and grief after the continual sins of the nation have brought them into God's judgment. They have watched their people be killed, their temple destroyed, their children slaughtered by invaders. It's not just tragedy, it's judgment from God for their sins. This all happens after Jeremiah is instructed by God not to even pray for the people anymore leading up to their judgment. But once the judgement came, a divinely inspired prayer and assurance comes in the book of Lamentations. Now they are prayed for. Now they are praying. And their lament is heard by God. They are assured of his mercies even after he has struck them down righteously due to their sin.

God's mercies are still available for you even if you have lost everything because of your sin. Because, as Lamentations says...

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Let him sit alone in silence when it is laid on him;
let him put his mouth in the dust— there may yet be hope;
let him give his cheek to the one who strikes, and let him be filled with insults.
For the Lord will not cast off forever,
for, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;"
Lamentations 3:22–32 (ESV)

People are evil and we are all sinful by nature but God’s mercy is great.

We are sooo underserving but He saves and forgives us anyway. That’s grace.

[Living Waters @LivingWatersPub]

“As fruit of God saving sinners, the adulterer strives to become faithful, the liar desires to speak the truth, the thief commits to ending his stealing, and the homosexual pursues God-ordained affections. Old things pass away. All things become new.” —Ray Comfort

“I’m not 100% certain I will go to Heaven.”

This is the issue with many faiths like Catholicism that lean towards a “works-based faith”. You never really know if your “works” are enough.

The entire book of 1 John is about ASSURANCE of salvation. “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that YOU MAY KNOW that you have eternal life (1 John 5:13).”

You can know 100% that you are going to Heaven, but it’s only through grace alone by faith alone in Christ alone.

We are not saved by our works (even in the name of God), we are saved by Christ’s work! All of our assurance is in Him.

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

You'll never prove your way into enough.

You were saved by grace, not performance.

What's the voice you need to stop listening to today?
You're falling behind? You'll never be enough?Most of us carry a voice like that?

I've heard it too. But Titus 3 says God saved us—not because of what we did, but because of His mercy. Nothing left to prove.
