What is the Romans Road to Salvation? The Romans Road to Salvation is a way of explaining the good news of salvation using verses from the book of Romans.

00:12

It is a simple yet powerful method of explaining why we need salvation, how God provided salvation, how we can receive salvation, and what are the results of salvation.

00:22

The first verse on the Romans Road to Salvation is Romans 3 .23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

00:30

We have all sinned. We have all done things that are displeasing to God. There is no one who is innocent.

00:36

Romans 3 .10 -18 gives a detailed picture of what sin looks like in our lives.

00:42

The second scripture on the Romans Road to Salvation, Romans 6 .23, teaches us about the consequences of sin.

00:49

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

00:54

The punishment that we have earned for our sins is death, not just physical death, but eternal death.

01:02

The third stop on the Romans Road to Salvation picks up where Romans 6 .23 left off, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our

01:10

Lord. Romans 5 .8 declares, but God demonstrates his own love for us in this,

01:16

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus Christ died for us. Jesus' death paid for the price of our sins.

01:24

Jesus' resurrection proves that God accepted Jesus' death as the payment for our sins. The fourth stop on the

01:32

Romans Road to Salvation is Romans 10 .9. If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is

01:37

Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in him, trusting his death as the payment for our sins, and we will be saved.

01:51

Romans 10 .13 says it again, For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

01:57

Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Salvation, the forgiveness of sins, is available to anyone who will trust in Jesus Christ as their

02:07

Lord and Savior. The final aspect of the Romans Road to Salvation is the results of salvation.

02:13

Romans 5 .1 has this wonderful message, Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our

02:21

Lord Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ, we can now have a relationship of peace with God.

02:27

Romans 8 .1 teaches us, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

02:33

Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, we will never be condemned for our sins. Finally, we have this precious promise of God from Romans 8 .38

02:42

-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 our

02:58

Lord. Would you like to follow the Romans Road to Salvation? If so, here is a simple prayer that you can pray to God.

03:06

Saying this prayer is a way to declare to God that you are relying on Jesus Christ for your salvation. The words themselves will not save you.

03:14

Only faith in Jesus Christ will provide salvation. God, I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment.

03:23

But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so through that faith in Him I could be forgiven. With your help,

03:29

I place my trust in you for salvation. Thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness, the gift of eternal life.

03:36

Amen. Got questions? The Bible has answers, and we'll help you find them.
