Food for the mind and soul

 

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ (his life, burial, and resurruction): for it is the power (authority) of God unto salvation (deliverance) to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

God has the power and authority to deliver those that believe and obey his word, even in the face of death.

Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested (revealed), being witnessed by the law (the Scriptures) and the prophets (Old Testament);

Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith (confidence) of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom 3:23 For all (all of us) have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

So we've all had a mind set against God, but the question is what are you going to do about it?

Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (a means of appeasing God anger) through faith in his blood (life), to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already (their not waiting to be condemned, they are condemned. Why?), because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

1Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins (for our violation Scriptures), the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened (given life) by the Spirit:

1Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

1Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

According to 1 Peter 3:21 baptism does save us, and it is even confirm in Mark 16:16.
