A Life Preserver for Deliverance from the Peril Our Sin

Access to God

1. We must acknowledge God as the Creator of everything, accepting our humble position in God’s created order and purpose. Romans 1:20-21

“For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

2. We must realize that we are sinners and need forgiveness. None of us are worthy under God’s standards. Romans 3:23

“For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.”

3. God has given us the way to be forgiven of our sins. He showed us His love by giving us the potential for life through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8

“But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

4. If we remain sinners, we will die. However, if we repent of our sins, and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will have eternal life. Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

5. We have to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We must believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead. You will be saved when you do this. Because in Jeremiah 29:13 God says when we seek Him with our whole hearts we will find Him. Romans 10:9-10

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.”

6. There are no other religious formulas or rituals. Call out to Jesus and you will be saved! Romans 10:13

“For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

7. You must determine in your heart that you will make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life today. Romans 11:36

“For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.”

The Roman Road: Are You Ready?
The Roman Road shows you the path – are you ready to accept God’s gift of Salvation now?

You (we all) are drowning in your sin and God has thrown you a life preserver named Jesus, if you (we) don’t take hold of him, you will perish. But, if you take hold of Him, you will gain so much more than just eternal life. You will gain freedom, joy, peace, and love like you have never known.

I IMPLORE YOU, believe in what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross, repent of your sins, and commit the rest of your life to Him.

Following is a sample prayer that you can use as a guideline for your sincere step of faith. Just be sure that when you pray to the Lord, it is from the bottom of your heart:

“Father, I know that my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.”

“Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)

If you have decided to receive Jesus today, welcome to God’s family. Now, as a way of growing closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.

  • Pursue baptism. This is a commandment.
  • Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
  • Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a lot of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
  • Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you.
  • Find a local church where you can worship God.
