“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23
First, we’re told that all of us are sinners.
God intended for each of us to live in perfect relationship with him, but every person who has ever lived has broken God’s commands.
“The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 6:23📷)
This defines the consequences of our sin. :
“God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8📷)
He loves us so much that even when we were sinners (or enemies of God, as Paul describes us two verses later), he gave his Son to die for us.
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation” (Rom 10:9–10📷)
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation” (Rom 10:9–10📷)
With Romans 10:9–10📷, Paul tells us how we can respond to the gospel affirmatively and accept God’s free offer of salvation.
We shouldn’t think of confessing and believing as a “works” but as a faithful response to the offer of salvation.
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom 10:13📷)
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom 10:13📷)
Paul reminds us that the offer of salvation is for everyone.
No matter where we’re from,
what we’ve done,
how intelligent we are, or
what socioeconomic class we’re in,
God’s offer of salvation is for us.
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 5:1📷)
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 5:1📷)
Romans 5:1📷 can be a good option when you’re sharing your faith with those who are struggling to find peace in their lives.
The traditional Romans Road experience ends at conversion. This verse describes the peace we receive after our decision to follow Jesus.
“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned” (Rom 5:23📷)
“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned” (Rom 5:23📷)
When we use this verse, we usually insert it after 3:23. It helps us show the origin of sin and its pervasiveness throughout the world.
