THE ROMAN ROAD
Odds are you are not the wealthiest person on earth, or the poorest person either, probably somewhere in between. But even if you were one of those two, you would have one thing in common with everyone else; at some point we will all face judgement day as we are told in Hebrews 9:27 “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment”.
When that day comes, most of us want to be ready, but the question is, have we been on the right road to get us where we really want to end up? If we take what has been called the “Romans Road” we can know that we are going the right way.
BUT 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 SALVATION
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
2. JESUS DIED FOR OUR SALVATION
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
3. SALVATION IS A GIFT
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
4. WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE
And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. (Romans 11:6)
5. SALVATION COMES THROUGH FAITH
The one who … trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. (Romans 4:5)
6. GOD SAVES ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM
Everyone who 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 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. (Romans 10:9,10)
