The Roman Road
From the Holy Bible book
of Romans
Consider the following
Bible truths: It takes being righteous for a person to go to heaven.
In fact, the promises of God in the bible are only for the RIGHTEOUS.
Heaven is only for the Righteous. Being righteous is being without
sin, and not in disobedience to God. Have you lived your whole life
without sin and disobedience? So ask yourself are you righteous? You
should have answered “NO” to that question. The Bible says
.
Romans 3:10 “As
it is written, There is none Righteous, no not one”
You may ask, “if there
are none righteous then where does that leave me? Surely we are not
all Sinners are we?” Well, the Bible would point you to the answer
to that question and it is YES! Your Apostle, Deacon, Priest, Bishop,
Pastor, Prophet, mother, Father and everyone else has sinned.
Romans 3:23 “For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Romans 5:12
“Wherefore by one man ( Adam ) sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned:”
So, if we are “ALL”
sinners, then how do we become righteous?
Romans 6:23 “For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 “But
God Commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.”
The way we become
RIGHTEOUS and able to enter into eternal life is through Jesus
Christ.
Romans 10:9,10
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Many people make this
decision much harder than it needs to be. God’s Word teaches us
that if you simply and sincerely believe in your innermost being that
Jesus took your place and died on the cross for the payment of your
sins, and that God raised him from the dead on the third day (found
in Matthew 28: 1 to 20) you will be saved by your confession of being
a sinner and asking the Lord Jesus to forgive you of your sins.
Because we are not
righteous on our own, the only way to heaven is to ask God to forgive
you of your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. The way
to do that is by believing in Jesus Christ and His finished work on
the cross.
Romans 10:13 For
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
If you call upon Him for
salvation God promises to hear you and you will be saved!! If you
believe that you need Christ in your life I encourage you to go to
God in prayer and sincerely pray a prayer like the one below and mean
it in your heart:
PRAYER of
Salvation and Repentance
Heavenly Father I come to
you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of my sins. I confess with
my mouth and believe with my heart that Jesus is your perfect Son who
had no sin, And that he died on the Cross at Calvary that I might be
forgiven and have eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I
believe that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now to come
in to my life and be my personal Lord and Savior. I repent of my Sins
and will seek to Worship you all the day's of my Life!. Because your
word is truth, I claim its promise of eternal life and confess with
my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed by the Blood of Jesus! In
Jesus’ Name, Amen
If you have prayed this
prayer and truly meant it in your heart , God’s Word assures you
that you now have eternal life. See John 6:37 and John 10:27-29.
Please contact us about
your decision and if you have any questions so we can send you some
valuable information that will assist you in your new life in Christ.
I Love You
