The Incredible Journey Down Romans Road To Salvation

Turning your life over to Jesus Christ is, without a doubt, the most wonderful thing that you could ever do! And even though you may have traveled down rough and rocky roads in your life, Jesus offers a plan for your life that will smooth and bless your path forever more. What follows is a simple step by step guideline that details how to accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and effect that marvelous change.

Please note, firstly, that God loves you!

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.

This tells you that God has a loving and powerful plan for your life. For example:

John 10:10

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Romans 3:23

1. Because of our sin, we are separated from God.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.”

Romans 6:23

2. The Penalty for our sin is death.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 5:8

3. The penalty for our sin was paid by Jesus Christ!

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 10:13

4. If we repent of our sin, then confess and trust Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will be saved from our sins!

“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

“… 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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10.

Now that you are a new creature in Jesus Christ, the road ahead will be full of life changing experiences.
