You Can Quit Roaming When You Find Romans Road

 As I was planning for a Missions Trip several years ago I came upon an idea that many of you may know about or shared yourself, The Romans Road.  I had seen the little packets of beaded bracelets that one can use to tell the story of redemption.  The black bead is our sin, the red bead the blood of Jesus, the white bead our life once we have been cleansed of sin, the green bead symbolic that we will live forever and a yellow bead to remind us we will one day walk on streets of gold.  Those little bracelets can sum up the Gospel of Jesus Christ for even the youngest of converts.  

I believe the days are coming when we will need to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a quick and easy understandable way. I pray this will help you have the boldness you need in order to enlarge the kingdom.  I am posting this with credit given to this author.  If you repost please give the credit to him as well.  I have also given you a handout you can print and keep in your Bible or take a picture of this and put it on your phone for future use.

If you know how to get to destination Heaven won't you lead others?

​The Four Spiritual Laws by Matt Slick
If you've gone through a discussion with someone and you want to present the gospel message in a simple and systematic way, the well-known "Four Spiritual Laws" can be of help.  They are simple, to the point, and use Scripture to convict, convince, and convert.  They are:

1. God loves you:
   1. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life," (John 3:16).
2. Man is sinful and separated from God.
   1. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Rom. 3:23); "For the wages of sin is death," (Rom. 6:23); "But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God," (Isaiah 59:2).
3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.
   1. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6); "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us," (Rom. 5:8).
4. We must individually receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.
   1. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name," (John 1:12); "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," (Rom. 10:9); "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God," (Eph. 2:8).

The Roman Road is another list of verses usable in the same way as the Four Spiritual Laws.  The advantage to these seven verses is that they are all in the book of Romans.  Sometimes this is an advantage when you don't want to flip through a lot of pages.

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."

I recommend you put the Roman Road in your Bible.  Go to Romans 3:10 underline it and write Romans 3:23 next to it.  Then go to Romans 3:28, underline it and write Romans 5:12 next to it, and so on.  That way all you need to do is memorize where you start: Romans 3:10.
