The Romans Road

 

WHAT IS THE ROMANS ROAD?

Simply put, the Romans Road shows the path to Heaven. It uses points from the book of Romans in the Bible to explain God’s gift of salvation. At each stop we learn something new about why we need salvation, how God has provided for it, and how we receive it.

As you look at each of the six points outlined here, take time to reflect on what God’s Word has to say. Remember that the book of Romans was written to people just like you and me: people living in a busy culture, trying to make sense of what is true and what is most important in life.

The Romans Road describes the only way to Heaven. Study it, learn it, and follow it!

1. EVERYONE NEEDS SALVATION

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)

2. JESUS DIED FOR OUR SALVATION

But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

3. SALVATION IS A GIFT

The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

4. WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. (Romans 11:6)

5. SALVATION COMES THROUGH FAITH

To him that … believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Romans 4:5)

6. GOD SAVES ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

The Bible says there are two roads in life: one is the way to eternal joy in Heaven, and the other leads to eternal punishment in Hell. Which road are you on?

Follow the Romans Road to salvation today. Recognize that you are a sinner and that your sin must be judged by God. See that Jesus died to pay the penalty for your sin, but that you must choose to accept His provision. Understand that you cannot earn your way to Heaven through good works or religious activity. Now turn to God and put your faith in Jesus Christ who died for you and rose again.

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. (Romans 10:9,10)

Are you a good Person?

History:

In the summer of 2001, God laid a burden upon the heart of Dr. Aaron Dawson to begin an equipping ministry to meet the “greatest need” of the church. It was from that point on that Aaron began to search for what that need was. A period of nearly six years passed before Aaron realized that one of his own shortcomings was the answer–personal evangelism. In 2006, during a conversation with his brother-in-law Jeremy Cox, Aaron realized that God was bringing them together to work as a team. As time has passed the talents and abilities of each have been challenged, stretched, and enhanced in pursuit of God’s will for 29:11 Ministries.

Aaron Dawson is the son of Steve and Sandy Dawson. He was raised in the ministry as his parents served in their church and Christian school. He graduated from Queenstown Christian Academy in 1998. Aaron was then off to the Ministry Training Institute to complete two years of his bachelor’s degree. He finished it through Andersonville Theological Seminary. He served as pastor at Ebenezer Free Will Baptist Church in Falkville, Alabama. Aaron fulfills the roles of lead speaker, apologetics coordinator, and writer.

Aaron Dawson currently serves as the Pastor of Souls Harbor Church in Vinemont, Alabama. He began his career with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office in 2012 as a night shift Line Officer. Since that time he has served as a Line Officer, Dispatcher, Corporal, Sergeant and Warden. Since 2014, Aaron has been a founding member of the Alabama Jail Training Academy. Prior to beginning his career in Corrections, Aaron served in the educational field as a Teacher, Coach, and Principal. He also has been pastoring since 2008.

Will you act on the good news today?

Jesus said, “Repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). The word gospel simply means good news. So He urges you to repent (to turn toward God, acknowledging that you are a lost and guilty sinner) and believe (put your complete trust in) the good news that Jesus died in your place and rose again to offer you eternal life.

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).


Jesus is the Answer!
