Romans 1.1-15-So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
1 Samuel 8- Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.
Psalm 54-Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your power.
Psalm 104.24-34, 35b-Let the glory of the LORD endure forever; let the LORD be glad in His works; He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to God while I have my being.

You are sinful, yet I love you. I free you from sin, I give you gifts to live your life to My glory.

We have all sinned. Paul and all the rest of us. Only Jesus was without sin, the rest of us have all sinned. Samuel sinned, Samuel's sons sinned, I sinned, you have sinned. We need God to save us.

The sign on this tree warns of a beetle that destroys other trees just like it. It's not too much different from my sin. I can't stop the beetle of sin from destroying me. But I can do some things to help live a life even with the sin. I can read, hear, and see the Word of God. I can listen to God's direction. I can praise and worship God. I can serve God. I can place all my trust and hope in God's salvation. God is mighty and is the only one who can save me. I can't save myself, nor can anyone else save me. So I will continue to live life in honor to God's victory won for me and you and all over sin and death, and trust in God. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.

Lord, thank you for salvation. ---Amen
