THE ROMANS ROAD
Below you'll find a simple walkthrough of the need for a savior, and how you can lead someone to salvation through Jesus. By walking them through a few scriptures in the book of Romans, you can help them see how Jesus came to pay the price for sin, and how they can have eternal life.
THE PROBLEM
(Romans 3:23 NIV) …for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
The truth is, we are all sinners. Not one of us is perfect.
THE CONSEQUENCE
(Romans 6:23 NIV) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We all deserve death, but the good news is that Jesus came to deliver us from death.
THE SOLUTION
(Romans 5:8 NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
He didn’t die for those who were “good enough” or who tried really hard…Jesus died for us while we were still sinners.
THE RESPONSE
(Romans 10:9, 13 NIV) 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. 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
All we have to do to accept the free gift of eternal life is declare with our mouth, believe in our heart, and call on His name.
