The Romans Road (LSB)

What is the Romans Road?Simply put, the Romans Road shows the path to Heaven. It uses points from the book of Romans in the Bible to explain God’s gift of salvation. At each stop we learn something new about why we need salvation, how God has provided for it, and how we receive it. As you look at each of the six points outlined here, take time to reflect on what God’s word has to say. Remember that the book of Romans was written to people just like you and me: people living in a busy culture, trying to make sense of what is true and what is most important in life. The Romans Road describes the only way to Heaven. Study it, learn it, and follow it! 1. Everyone Needs SalvationFor all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) 2. Jesus Died For Our SalvationBut God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) 3. Salvation Is A GiftFor the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) 4. We Are Saved By GraceBut if it is by grace, it is no longer of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. (Romans 11:6) 5. Salvation Comes Through FaithThe one who … believes upon Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. (Romans 4:5) 6. God Saves All Who Call Upon HimFor “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) The Bible says there are two roads in life: one is the way to eternal joy in Heaven, and the other leads to eternal punishment in Hell. Which road are you on? Follow the Romans Road to salvation today. Recognize that you are a sinner and that your sin must be judged by God. See that Jesus died to pay the penalty for your sin, but that you must choose to accept His provision. Understand that you cannot earn your way to Heaven through good works or religious activity. Now turn to God and put your faith in Jesus Christ who died for you and rose again. 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; for with the heart a person believes, leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, leading to salvation. (Romans 10:9,10)
