All people live life experiencing the effects of sin. The only solution to the problem of sin is Jesus’ death on the cross which was cruel and gruesome. But this had to happen. Jesus willingly gave himself up for us. Below, we look at how the death of Jesus on the cross delivers us from the effects of sin, bringing us to a relationship with God.

The Romans Road to Salvation

1. What is our problem?
The universal problem is that all have sinned.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).

As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10).

2. What is the problem with sin?
The wages of sin is death.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned (Romans 5:12).

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

3. How does God forgive sin?
God provided a way for our sin to be forgiven and not held against us any longer.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).

4. What happens when we receive forgiveness?
Salvation brings us peace with God.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1).

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).

5. How can you receive that forgiveness?
We personally receive forgiveness and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
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. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved (Romans 10:9,10).

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13).
