The Romans Road to salvation
What is it?
The Romans Road to salvation is a method based on
the biblical principles found in the New Testament book of Romans to explain
how a person can come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Shared with millions of people around the world,
the Romans Road explains
- why we need salvation,
- how God provided salvation,
- how we can receive salvation, and
- the results of salvation.
The Romans Road begins with acknowledging our human sinfulness.

Romans
6:23 teaches, "For
the wages of sin is
death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord."

God for eternity.

Romans
5:8 states, "but
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us."
While we deserve death, Jesus has offered a way of
life. He alone has provided a sufficient answer to the
sin and spiritual death
we face.
The Romans Road then teaches how we can receive salvation.

Romans
10:9 says, "because,
if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Verse 13 adds, "For
'everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Salvation is available to anyone who will turn to
Jesus for eternal life (John
3:16).
This occurs when we believe Jesus is
Lord and that He
literally came alive again from the dead.
Finally, the Romans Road shares the results of salvation.

If so, here is a simple prayer you can pray to God.
The words of this prayer will not save you; only Jesus saves you!
“Heavenly
Father,
I
admit that I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You. I now want to
turn away from my past sinful life and begin a new life with You.
Please
forgive me. I now receive your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my
Lord. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and
rose from the dead.
I
want to receive all that Jesus Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your
Word says, ‘Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Romans 10:13).
I
believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and
no man comes unto the Father, but by Him.
Lord
Jesus, I pray and ask You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I
thank You that you have given me eternal life, and according to Your Word, I am
born again.
Heavenly
Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. I
surrender my life to You. I promise to study Your Word - the Bible.
Use
me for Your glory.
In
Jesus Name. Amen.”

lyrics
You did not wait for me to draw near to You
But You clothed Yourself with frail humanity
You did not wait for me to cry out to You
But You let me hear Your voice calling me
And I'm forever grateful to You
I'm forever grateful for the cross
I'm forever grateful to You
That You came
To seek and save the lost
