The Romans Road

The Romans Road is an outline that a lot of Christians use to try to communicate the Gospel message of salvation. It is basically some key verses, most taken from the Letter to the Romans, rearranged into a logical order to make a point about the need for salvation and the source of salvation. There are lots of different versions of this, but a common one follows:

• Rom 3:10-12 as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."
• Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
• Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
• John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
• Revelation 3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock: If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will sup with him, and he with Me.
• Rom 10:9-10 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. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
• John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by Me.”
• Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

When I was examined for qualification for Elder or Deacon, one of the examiners asked, "What are some verses you could point someone to in an attempt to witness to them?"

The Romans road is a good start.
