What The 21 Mnemonic 3:16 "Three Sixteens" Of The New Testament Tell Us ~ Part Three: The Book Of Romans

Romans 3:16
“Destruction and misery are in their paths, the way of peace they have not known”
 
(Psalm 14:1-7 none is righteous, neither Jew nor Greek all are guilty under the Law, and until they believe, they will continue in the way of death. Psalm 53:1-6) *Way of Life = Born Twice; Way of Death = Born Once from the Didache (See http://www.communionfire.com/the-acts-of-jesus/the-communionfire-commentary-on-the-book-of-acts) – the earliest teaching of new believers. The ways of the unbeliever include the unholy desires to satisfy the hunger of the flesh; the demands of society or the world to enslave your life to the chains of your need for recognition, security and success and the deliberate deceptions of evil masquerading as a feast of darkness and demonic influence. The soul is the hunting ground. The soul is the battlefield. The flesh, the world and the evil all prepare whatever meal will feed your selfishness, self-centeredness and self-righteousness. If the mind can’t be enticed, then a spell will be cast upon your will. If the mind and will can’t be enticed then a savory menu is prepared to satisfy the gluttony and greed of emotions. They are all interlaced with one common thread. Unbelief. To not believe in Jesus means to believe everything else! To believe in Jesus means the temporary is replaced by the eternal; the profane for the holy and the natural of the earth for the super natural of heaven.  A Christ-less life is lifeless and a Christ-Centered life is peace-filled. Those who know Christ know peace and for those who know not Christ, no peace. By the law sin revives but righteousness and peace come by Jesus Christ.
 
Respond to Jesus’ invitation to “Come to His Table”. He prepares for your arrival 24/7. There you will find Him waiting to share His love and life with you. Come empty handed and a heart filled with thanks. He has so much to share with you and it is so powerful He can only feed you one morsel and one sip at a time! In His presence is peace that is beyond understanding. Jesus says, “My peace I give to you, not as the world gives. In the world you will face tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” Psalm 22 reveals what Jesus suffered so that He could lead you as the Good Shepherd in Psalm 23 in the way of Life – the way of Peace to His Table. In His presence at the Table He opens your eyes to see and your ears to hear Psalm 24 Him as King and Lord of Glory. 

Who is this King of glory? 
The Lord Our Savior, Shepherd and the Almighty One  
​He is the King of glory

Psalm 22
​Savior

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me,so far from my cries of anguish? 

2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. 

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises. 

4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.

5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.

7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads.

8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say, “let the Lord rescue him. 
Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.”

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.

10 From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and
there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

13 Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me.

14 I am poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.

15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.

16 Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.

17 All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me.

18 They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.

19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me.

20 Deliver me from the sword, 
my precious life from the power of the dogs.

21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

22 I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly
I will praise you.

23 You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!

24 For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him - may your hearts live forever!

27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,

28 for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules
over the nations.

29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him  those who cannot keep themselves alive.

30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told 
about the Lord.

31 They will proclaim his righteousness,declaring to a people yet unborn:He has done it!

Psalm 23
​Shepherd

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
