WED: “THE ROMANS ROAD TO SALVATION”

  1. The problem we all have as humans             Romans 3:9-12
    1. We are all in the same spiritual condition apart from Christ       9
    2. We are all unrighteous before God in our sin                               10
    3. We are all living our life apart from God in sin                               11
    4. We are all not good enough to get into Heaven with God 12
  2. The solution we all need for our sin is the same Romans 3:21-26
    1. We all need God’s righteousness to be right with God       21
    2. We all need God’s righteousness and we cannot produce it ourselves 22
    3. We all need God’s righteousness because we are all sinners       23
    4. We all need God’s righteousness that is free only by God’s grace 24
    5. We all need God’s righteousness to replace our sinfulness       25
    6. We all need God’s righteousness to declare us righteous with Him 26
  3. The cause of our sinful spiritual condition for us all                  Romans 5:12
    1. It is due to our common ancestry in Adam and his sin of disobedience
    2. It is due to our nature to sin coming to us through our ancestry to Adam
    3. It is due to the fact that God told Adam the day he sinned he would die
    4. It is due to the fact that we have all committed our own sinfulness before God as well
    5. It is due to the fact that we sin because we are sinners by nature from birth as humans
  4. The only way to solve the problem             Romans 6:23
    1. What we earn because of our sin is death
    2. What we need is God’s gift of eternal life
    3. What we must do is receive God’s eternal life through Jesus Christ
    4. What we have to do is receive Jesus as our Saviour by faith so He can be our Lord
  5. The reason this solution is made possible to us Romans 5:8-11
    1. It is only possible because of God’s love offered to us 8
    2. It is only possible because of Jesus’ blood shed for us 9
    3. It is only possible because of Jesus’ resurrection from death to life 10
    4. It is only possible because of Jesus reconciling us to God 10
    5. It is only possible because of Jesus’ payment of our sin debt for us 11
  6. The only way any one can benefit from this solution             Romans 10:9-13
    1. We must confess our sins to the Lord we have sinned against 9a
    2. We must believe in our heart to truth about Jesus                   9b-10
    3. We must call upon the name of the Lord to save us as our Saviour 11-13
