SOLUTIONS FOR LIFE'S NEEDS

Romans 5:1 - 21

If you are getting ready to invest in a
retirement plan or if you are gong to buy an insurance
policy, one of the things the professional who is
working with you will do is to show you how that

salvation experience with Jesus Christ meets these
daily needs of our lives.
Notice in chapter 5, verse 1 it says, "(therefore
being saved, therefore knowing Jesus) therefore being
justified by faith, we HAVE". He is talking about how
Jesus Christ can meet needs in our lives on a daily

was barely above a whisper I would not be able to
speak all the ways Jesus meets the deepest needs of
our lives. It is going to take eternity for you and
for me to fully understand all Jesus did for us when
He came into our hearts and beca ...
