The Roman Road

Every Christian is called to lead others to Christ. But how do we do that? What can we tell them?

We know the answer is in the Bible, but where?

In our Wednesday night Bible study on the book of Romans we discovered a well known, and well used way of helping others to know the truth of the Gospel.

We call it

The Roman Road.

1. Rom. 3:10, "As it is written, 'There is none righteous, not even one...'"
2. Rom. 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
3. Rom. 5:12, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned."
4. Rom. 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
5. Rom. 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
6. Rom. 10:9-10, "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation."
7. Rom. 10:13, "For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved."

While it may be a bit overwhelming to memorize the whole book as Martin Luther advised, it is certainly not too much to commit these seven verses to memory. That way you can always have with you the tools to share the most wonderful gift you have with those you know and love. Or even everyone else!

Romans Bible Study

This week the Pastor started teaching verse by verse through the Epistle to the Romans in our Wednesday night Bible Study.
Don't miss out on the experience of this masterpiece of Christian knowledge.
As Martin Luther wrote in the introduction to his commentary on the letter,

This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul. It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes and the better it tastes. Therefore I want to carry out my service and, with this preface, provide an introduction to the letter, insofar as God gives me the ability, so that every one can gain the fullest possible understanding of it. Up to now it has been darkened by glosses [explanatory notes and comments which accompany a text] and by many a useless comment, but it is in itself a bright light, almost bright enough to illumine the entire Scripture.
