Ever embarked on a long journey? Let me show you the most important road trip of your life on "The Romans Road"...
There is none righteous, no, not one. (Romans 3:10)
Do you think you are a good person? Take this test and see how well you fare!
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
If you were to meet the Prime Minister or President tonight, would you not wear your best clothes? If the best is for the king of the land, what more for the King of the Universe? Unfortunately, no matter how little we sin, we still fall short of God's sinless standard.
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. (Romans 5:12)
Anyone ever had to teach a child to lie? Sin is disobedience against God. Adam disobeyed God and through him, all man are tainted with sin. This reality of original sin is clearly seen in a child’s natural tendency towards jealousy, bad temper, malice and falsehood - childhood sins which appear without adult tuition.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
Earlier, we read from the Bible that death entered into the world via sin and is passed upon all man. Now, we know that this is because the wages of sin is death. This death is not only the physical bodily death, but also the spiritual eternal death. BUT God has a gift for man. Will you receive this gift?
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Do you need God? "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) Jesus died on the cross for our sins, that whoever receives Him into their heart shall have their sins washed away by His blood.
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. (Romans 10:9)
Why mouth and heart? "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10) When need to confess our sins to God, repent and turn to Him. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Receive Jesus into your heart today and make Him the Lord of your life. Because Jesus rose from the dead, we know that He has overcome sin, death and Hell. Through Christ, we who believe shall have the same victory.
Dear friends, not all roads lead to Rome but the Roman's road is the world's oldest road. Construction started 6000 years ago after the Creation and was completed 2000 years ago with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Many did begin but not all finish. What about you?
