theThe Roman Trail, a path to Salvation
Romans 3:23 - “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (No one is perfect, everyone messes up)
Romans 5:12 - “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Adam in the Garden of Eden)
Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Sin is death, but a life knowing and serving God, being forgiven is eternal life with Him)
Romans 5:8-9 - “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Jesus died for everyone, not just some people, but for all people so that you can have a relationship with God)
Ephesians 2:8-9 - “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Only by Grace, can you be saved. You cannot go through life thinking that I am a good person and I will go to Heaven. Jesus is the only way to Heaven)
Romans 10:8-9 - “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 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.” (You do not gain God's righteousness by works instead, we gain righteousness by confessing and believing in the person and the work of Jesus Christ our savior)
John 1:12 - “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” (Though some rejected this revelation, others received Him and therefore became children of God through a new birth being born of God)
Revelations 3:20 - “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” (No matter how far you run from God, if you stop and turn around, He will be right there waiting for 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.” (God loves you and he is waiting for you)
