The Romans Road
1. The Human Problem
God is Holy and we are inherently evil. “As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;” (Romans 3:10)
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23)
Once we realize we all have sinned we understand where that leads Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23a)
We then see that his holiness gives hope to all in the form of salvation.“…but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
2. Humanity’s Hope in Christ
He then shows us the salvation is found in him and the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
3. The Sinner’s Response
Once we understand our need for salvation. That the need for Jesus to die for our sins is rooted in our salvation.
“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)
This response is possible for everyone. Romans 10:13
expresses God’s ability to save everyone. (His intention to save everyone is further expressed in John 3:16-17)
“For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Romans 10:13)
4. The Result of Salvation
We know understand that Jesus intercedes for us sinners before a Holy God. His sacrifice on the cross sent the Holy Spirit to dwell among us.
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.” (Romans 5:1-2)
rejoices in the result of salvation. Before faith in Christ, all who have sinned were condemned by their sin and destined for death. But now with faith in Christ, “there is no condemnation” (Romans 8:1)
and believers are gifted eternal life with God (Romans 6:23).
