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!
