Romans Road to Salvation

- 2 min read
The Romans Road is a simple way many Christians use to share the Gospel using verses mainly from the book of Romans. This lays out the key steps of why we need salvation, how God provides it, and how to receive it. Please make sure to memorize verses. God Bless!
All have sinned Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Every person has sinned and cannot reach God's perfect standard through their own efforts.
The consequence of sin is death Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Sin earns the penalty of spiritual death and separation from God, but God offers eternal life as a free gift through Jesus.
God demonstrated His love by sending Christ to die for us Romans 5:8: "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Even when we were still sinners and enemies of God, Jesus died in our place to pay the penalty we deserved.
Salvation comes through confessing and believing in Jesus Romans 10:9-10: "If you declare 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 profess your faith and are saved." Salvation is received by believing in your heart that Jesus died and rose again, and by confessing Him as Lord.
Anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved Romans 10:13: "For, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" The offer is open to everyone. Calling on Jesus in faith brings salvation.
Summary: We are all sinners separated from God. Sin's penalty is death. Christ died to pay that penalty because of God's love. We receive forgiveness and eternal life by believing in Him and confessing Him as Lord. The invitation is for everyone who calls on Him. If you find yourself wanting to submit your life to Jesus and make Him Lord of your life, I encourage you to reach out to your local Church and talk to either the Pastor or Elders. If you don't have anyone to talk to please email us and we will gladly assist in helping you understand the Gospel and then discipleship once you receive Salvation!
