Romans Road - Introductions

This is not my typical devotional. I am introducing what is commonly called "The Romans Road to Salvation." The devotional material the rest of the week will be dealing with the different doctrinal points of the Romans Road. So acquaint yourselves with the following verses that make up the Apostle Paul's Romans Road to Salvation. (If you memorize the verses they will assist you greatly as you are given the opportunity to lead someone to Christ)

Doctrinal Point #1: Every member of the human race needs God. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 (NKJV)

Doctrinal Point #2: The consequence of our sin is a death sentence. Death in this life and separation from God in the next. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God iseternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 (NKJV)

Doctrinal Point #3: God loves sinners and made provision to save them through the atoning work of Christ. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NKJV)

Doctrinal Point #4: People are delivered from their sin when they proclaim their faith and when that faith is birthed in their hearts. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:8-9 (NKJV)

Doctrinal Point #5: As a Believer walks according to the Spirit, they are free from condemnation and the consequences of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1 (NKJV)

Well, now you know the subject matter for the next 5 devotionals. It is my hope that this series of devotionals will help you more clearly understand the gospel message and make you more effective in sharing your faith. Blessings! Ron
