  • Some of the Bible verses can be depressing. This Holy Book tells the truth about the world we live in. In this day and age, you see and hear people who are not morally sound in mind and heart, which show on their daily choices in life. The main reason why many reject and avoid reading this book or any materials or articles that pertain to the Word of God. The Bible scriptures are like seeing our faces perfectly reflected by the water, when looking into it. 

    "As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man." Proverbs 27:19

    God's holy words can do the same; the Bible makes us see the condition of our hearts. It talks about our lack of moral values. Our being ungodly. More so for those who do not know anything about God and His commands and instructions. The Bible said because we are overcome by sins against God, we are powerless to the strongholds of the devil in our lives. For the ungodly, they do not even know that they are under the power of the devil and his demons.

    Here in Romans 5:6 verse, the apostle Paul was preaching through a letter to the Romans who accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He was giving them the encouragement that though they were sinful, Jesus died for them and the ungodly to save them and us from the eternal destruction of humans' souls.

    God's offer of salvation through Jesus Christ is for everyone.

    “That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”  Romans 10:9-10
