Want to know what to say with your booklet?
- On page one say: Some people think being a good person will get you into heaven. But Romans 3:23 explains that we all have sinned and fall short of “good.” So that plan is not going to work.
- On page two say: Romans 6:23 explains that the price of sin is death. But Jesus offers us the free gift of eternal life if we will accept it.
- On page three say: Romans 5:8 tells us that the way the amazing free gift works is that Jesus took our place and died for our sin.
- On page four say: If you want to accept this free gift from Jesus and be saved from death, call on Him in prayer, like it says in Romans 10:13.
- On page five say: How? Romans 10:9 says to pray and confess that you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness. Confess that you believe that Jesus died for you and rose again and is now alive in your heart.
- On page six say: Romans 5:1 explains that after that genuine prayer, you will be justified by your new faith. Your sins will be forgiven and you will have peace with God. You will begin a whole new life today!

What Is The Romans Road to Salvation
The Romans Road to Salvation presentation (from the book of Romans) is a listing of scriptures which cites certain selected verses commonly used in Christian evangelism:The Romans Road Verses
- We are all sinners (Rom. 3:10,23).
- The wages of our sins is death (Rom. 6:23).
- Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross (Rom. 5:8).
- Salvation comes by faith, that is, by confessing with our mouths and believing inour hearts (Rom. 10:9,10).
- Call on the Lord for salvation and get saved (Rom. 10:13).
Related To The Romans Road To Salvation But Omitted
Whoever established those five points as gospel keys for an unsaved person tobecome enlightened to salvation omitted other critical passages, also from the book of Romans, which are vitally related to salvation. They are:
Romans Road Tract Kjv
'To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life' (Rom. 2:7).
'For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live' (Rom. 8:13).
'You will say then, 'Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.'Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again' (Rom. 11:19-23).
And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. (Rom 13:11)Since these last four cited passages all cause much trouble for the 'once saved always saved' crowd, do you think the person (or persons) who omitted them when formulating the Romans Road might have been eternal security proponents?
Where Is The Righteousness Which Comes By Faith In The Commonly Known Romans Road
Furthermore, the 'righteousness that comes by faith' (Rom. 9:30) is not mentioned at all in the Romans Road to salvation presentation! The book of Romans, more so than any other book in the New Testament, stresses this! Paul wrote,'What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as it were by works. They stumbled over the 'stumbling stone.' As it is written: 'See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.' Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know therighteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes' (Rom.9:30-10:4).Now, if that important passage would be coupled with the aforementioned Rom.2:7; 8:13; 11:19-23 and 13:11, the Romans Road would be a MUCH better presentation of the Gospel, as far as accuracy is concerned with its imputed righteousness and conditional security for the believer. Beyond all of this, Rom. 3:21-24 adds to our understanding of righteousness:
'But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who BELIEVE. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.'Please note the word 'believe' in Rom. 3:22. This word 'believe' in the Greek is a continuous tense. Hence, Paul was saying the condition for 'this righteousness from God' is a continuous belief in Christ which is also the implied meaning of the 'grace' mentioned in verse 24. This is an important point -- for it refutes the false view that many eternal security proponents embrace, like R. B. Thieme who said:
'Yet believers who become agnostics are still saved; they are still born again. You can even become an atheist; but if you once accepted Christ assaviour, you cannot lose your salvation, even though you deny God' [Apes and Peacocks or The Pursuit of Happiness (Houston: Thieme, 1973), p. 23 as quoted in The Gospel According To Jesus by John F. MacArthur, p. 98, (emphasis ours).]Charles Stanley teaches the same way:
'... believers who lose or abandon their faith will retain their salvation ...' (Eternal Security: Can You Be Sure?, Oliver-Nelson Books, 1990, p. 94)[emphasis ours].Eternal security (or 'the perseverance of the saints'), like the Catholicdoctrine of Purgatory, is a false hope that is misleading many sincere people. It needs to be openly addressed and refuted as never before. If these added verses of Scripture would be presented and expanded upon in the Romans Road gospel presentation, the problem of the perseverance of the saints would not be as great as it is today. This is especially so if Rom. 11:19-23 would also be repeated at the very end of such a gospel presentation. If all these verses corporately were Paul's original gospel of grace, how do some conveniently omit the ones revealing the necessity of continuous-tense belief on Christ and a conditional security for the believer? See also 1 Cor. 15:2.
Vital Scriptures On ETERNAL LIFE Have Also Been Avoided
WHY Were Those Critical SALVATION Truths
Omitted From The Romans Road
One must ask himself, 'How could all these important verses regarding the subject of salvation be omitted from the universally known Romans Road gospel presentation?' Clearly, the omitted passages herein cited are just as inspired as those commonly known! Moreover, they all address the issue of salvation! How then can one warrant the omission of these key verses? Paul wanted his readers to know these truths!Also, one might wonder why Rom. 3:23 would be magnified, but not Rom. 3:22, the preceding verse which teaches a continuous tense belief for imputed righteousness! The same kind of omission is found in Rom. 6 where verse 23 is cited but not verse 22! Why, when the omitted verse(s) also contain important information about salvation that is not contained anywhere in the commonly known Romans Road?
Beloved, be not deceived -- you must continue in the faith or you will certainly be lost (Rom. 3:22), sin can bring about spiritual death (Rom. 8:13) and we must persist in doing good to get eternal life (Rom. 2:7). [Eternal life is also shown in the Bible to be a present-tense possession at the point of salvation, 1 Jn. 5:12.] Don't be deceived by the popular Romans Road gospel presentation that would suggest these are not so! To believe otherwise is to show yourself deceived about these extremely important facets of salvation. John wrote:
'See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. IF IT DOES, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us -- even eternal life' (1 Jn. 2:24,25).Remember, the commonly known Romans Road to salvation gospel presentation is seriously flawed and leaves out vital salvation truths. That is important to know, but there is even more to know about those who teach contrary to the believer's conditional security:
Romans Road Bookmark
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. (Rom 16:17,18)
Romans Road Printable Tract
Paul strongly established a conditional security in his epistle to the Roman's, then revealed additional truth about those who teach contrary. He stated such false teachers:- are not serving our Lord Christ.
- are serving their own appetites.
- deceive by smooth talk and flattery.
- are to be kept away from (which includes not supporting or even encouraged them).
