It was my wonderful joy and privilege earlier today (Saturday) to lead a new believer to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is always a profound experience to do so, and of course I’ve been thinking about it all day.
As one recounts the simple plan of salvation, one has to be reminded of his own experience of coming to Christ in humility and gratitude. Saying the words, saying the verses (I like to use the Roman Road to Salvation) has to remind us of what Jesus did; of what God provided; that greater love has no man than this, to lay down His life for His friends.
Here are the verses:
Romans 3:10
Romans 3:23
Romans 5:12
Romans 5:8
Romans 6:23
Romans 10: 9, 10, and 13
Other verses I like to use: I John 5:13, and John 10: 27-30.
If we were capable of being good enough, by following rules, to achieve heaven, then Jesus didn’t have to die.
But He did have to die, as the perfect, unblemished sacrifice to not only cover our sin, but to wash us clean.
If He had died on the cross and been buried, that would not have been any different than the thousands of others who suffered a similar execution at the hands of the Romans. But He conquered sin and death and rose from the grave, and that’s what makes the difference.
Because He lives, we can live also.
If you would like to know more, please message me. I will be more than glad to help you.
