The Romans Road

• Romans 3:10 - no one does good all the time
• Romans 3:23 – glory or glorious standard of God (perfection)
• Romans 6:23a - death = separation from this life (Romans 5:12) & eternal life (Revelation 20:6,14)  Note: death & hell cast into the lake of fire = 2nd death
• Romans 5:8
• Romans 6:23b – eternal life = a [free] gift from God (not earned Ephesians 2:8-9)
• Romans 10:9-10 – believe = fully trust; heart = center & core of our being
• Romans 10:13 
• Romans 5:1 – peace with God because we were at war with Him (Romans 8:7)
• Romans 8:1
• Romans 8:38-39

How to be Saved

1.   Admit you are a sinner.

2.   Understand that as a sinner, you deserve death.

3.   Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and death.

4.   Repent by turning from your old life of sin to a new life in Christ.

5.   Receive, through faith in Jesus Christ, God's free gift of salvation.

The “Sinner’s Prayer”

God, I know I’m a sinner and that I don’t deserve to go to heaven.  I believe Jesus suffered on the cross to save me from my sins.  So, I’m turning from my sinful ways to live a new life devoted to you.  Lord Jesus, I receive you into my life and accept your gift of salvation.  Amen.

Assurance of Salvation (After the prayer…) 

Remind them of Romans 10:13 – God made you a promise.

Show them 1 John 5:13 – God wants them to know they are saved; not hope they are saved.

Show them John 10:28-30 – No one (not even them) can pull us away from God.

Show them 1 Peter 1:4-5 – They are protected by God until their “home going”.
