Welcome to my final post of our Romans Road reviewing (or learning). Today we are going to finish off our 6 steps to salvation. For a quick review over what we learned so far, let's look at our first 4 verses: John 3:16; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8. We learned that God loved the world, but we sin and can't enter God's presence. We deserve death, but God sends us a gift. The gift is Jesus, God's son, who died on the cross in place of us. Today we will look at the final verses (Romans 10:9 and Romans 10:13) of this series.'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.' -Romans 10:9
'All who call on the name of Jesus will be saved.' -Romans 10:13
So by reading the other 4 verses we learn what God did for us, but these verses tell us what we need to do. We need to confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. That means that we need to say that Jesus is Lord, but that's not all. We need to believe in our heart, not just in our head, that God raised Jesus from the dead. If we do this we will be saved. The most important thing though, is to call on Jesus. If we call on Jesus we will be saved. It says right there in Romans 10:13. That means that our 6 steps to salvation are:
- God loved the world. (John 3:16)
- We sin though, and can not enter God's presence. (Romans 3:23)
- We deserve to die, but God sent us a gift. (Romans 6:23)
- God sent us Jesus to die in our place. (Romans 5:8)
- We need to say that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that He is raised from the dead. (Romans 10:9)
- We need to call on the name of Jesus and then we will be saved. (Romans 10:13)
