What Is The Romans Road To Salvation?

Hey Guys & Gals,

I'm not sure if you all know what is the Roman's road to salvation, or if you do, you probable don't have it memorised. IF you are unsure of your salvation or even what it means to be saved or the message behind christianity, if you have time, try to read through this slowly, it will benifit you alot. I think it is necessary that we should be ready to preach the gospel at all times (1 Timothy 4:2) , and i've realised in my life, that i really don't know how to tell someone, in a logical order, what christianity is actually about. So i pray, as i try to write down in a logical and simple way, the Roman roads for anyone who is reading this, that they, and i, are refreshed and have the willingness to reach out to those who are perishing, and tell them about the God who's love can change our lives forever. Amen.

p.s got this from (http://www.gotquestions.org/romans-road-salvation.html)



1) the first verse to the Roman road of salvation is Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
- We have all sinned
- We have all done things displeasing to god
- There are none who are innocent
- (refer to Romans 3:10-18 and 1:21-32 for what sin looks like in our lives)



2) The second scripture is Romans 6:23 which teaches about the consequences of sin.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord."
- Punishment for sin, is death
- Not just physical, but eternal spiritual death too.



3) The third verse is where Romans 6:23 left off, "But the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord." Romans 5:8 declares,
"But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
- Christ died for us
- Jesus paid for our sins
- Jesus ressurection proves God's acceptence of Jesus' death as payment for our sins.



4) The fourth verse to salvation is Romans 10:9,
"That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
- Because of Jesus' death, all we have to do is believe in him,
- Trusting His death as payment for our sins and we will be saved!!!
- Romans 10:13 reliterates "for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved"
- Jesus paid the penalty of our sins and resues us from eternal death.
- Salvation and forgiveness of sin is available to anyone who trusts and believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.



5) The final aspects of the Romans road to salvation is the results of salvation. Romans 5:1 is a wonderful message (especially useful with Catholics)
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
-Through Jesus we can have a relationship of peace with God.
Romans 8:1 says:
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
- Because of Jesus death on our behalf, we will NEVER be condemned for our sins! AMEN!!



Finally we have this promise from God in Romans 8:38-39
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus or Lord! AMEN!@# amen is not in the verse, just to let you know :p

I hope you guys have found that as benificial to you, as it was for me to look it up and think about it. I hope your exam studies are going well, perhaps you can even evangelise to someone who looks like they are stressing out, perhaps god can use you in amazing ways even through this stressful time. God bless, take care, study hard, but don't forget about god!

p.s For those random people who read blogs, or someone who doesn't know christ, and you would like to accept Jesus Christ into your life and enjoy His blessing from until the end of eternity please pray this simple prayer:
(This is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Jesus Christ for your salvation, the words themselves will not save you!!! Only faith in Jesus Christ can provide salvation)
"God, I know that I have sinned against you and that i am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserved so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I turn away from my sin and place my trust in You for salvation. Thankyou for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternal life! Amen!!"
