b'Taste and See Ps.34:8 #RTTBROS #Nightlight. Have you noticed that kids often refuse try new food. They have no reason to refuse but they do.\\nThey may love it if they would just try it. But they will never know till they do. Have you tried God, the Bible says " O Taste and see that the Lord is Good." There are many aspects of a relationship with God that are indescribable and can only be appreciated by personal experience.\\n\\nBrian Tubbs explains it this way.\\nAs it is written, \\u2018There is none righteous, no, not one.\'\\u201d (Romans 3:10, KJV)\\nQuoting from the Psalms, the apostle Paul declares that no single human being is \\u201crighteous\\u201d (the meaning of which is best understood as \\u201cright with God\\u201d).\\n\\n\\u201cFor all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.\\u201d (Romans 3:23, KJV)\\nLest someone protest that they are a good person, especially when compared to people they know or observe in the news or in their workplace (or wherever), Paul points out that the standard isn\\u2019t your neighbor, but rather God Himself.\\n\\nIt isn\\u2019t enough that you compare yourself to another human being and think \\u201cWell, I\\u2019m not as bad as him.\\u201d\\n\\nThe standard is God\\u2019s holiness. And all of us fall short of that standard.\\n\\n\\u201cFor the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\\u201d (Romans 6:23, KJV)\\nHaving established that we are all sinners who fall short of God\\u2019s glory, Paul explains that the \\u201cwages\\u201d (or earnings) of our sin is \\u201cdeath.\\u201d This includes both physical death and spiritual death.\\n\\nPhysical death is when your soul separates from your body. Spiritual death is when your soul is separated from God. And this separation from God extends into eternity for those who die in their lost and sinful state.\\n\\nBecause of our sin, we face the reality and inevitability of both physical death and eternal separation from God.\\n\\nPaul, however, doesn\\u2019t leave us with just bad news. He mentions that the \\u201cgift of God\\u201d is \\u201ceternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\\u201d And to further explain this, we step back a chapter in Romans to go to the next milestone marker in the Romans Road.\\n\\n\\u201cBut God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.\\u201d (Romans 5:8, KJV)\\nGod doesn\\u2019t leave us in our sinful state. He doesn\\u2019t leave us with the prospect of facing both physical and spiritual death. There is, as they say, \\u201cmore to the story.\\u201d\\n\\nPaul says that God demonstrated or commended (gave) love to us even when we didn\\u2019t deserve it. Even when we were deep in sin, \\u201cChrist died for us.\\u201d\\n\\nWhat do we do this information? Well, for that, we come to the final passage of the Romans Road.\\n\\n\\u201cFor whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.\\u201d (Romans 10:13, KJV)\\nThe bad news is we all fall short of God\\u2019s glory and we all face both physical and spiritual death because of it. The good news is that God loved us, sent Jesus to die for us, and anyone who calls upon \\u201cthe name of the Lord shall be saved.\\u201d\\n\\nFor a deeper explanation of what it means to call on the name of the Lord, Romans 10:13 should be read and understood in the context of the verses which precede it. As a kid, I was taught to memorize Romans 10:9-10 as well as 10:13. But honestly, as our pastor made clear in his sermons, verses 9 through 13 of chapter 10 all beautifully speak to the plan and promise of God\\u2019s love and salvation.\\n\\nThat 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.\\n\\nPaul the Apostle, Romans 10:9-13, KJV\\nIf you want to understand what it takes to have your sins forgiven, to be save'
