We all fall short. None of us has the ability to be “good enough” to enter the kingdom of heaven based on our actions, no matter how many good deeds we partake in. It is by the Grace of God we are blessed with this privilege. The NIV Dictionary Concordance defines Grace: An underserved favor or gift; the undeserved kindness and mercy that God gives us. Following the “Roman Road” tells it all. Please come along with me on the journey of a lifetime! There are five stops.
1. Romans 3:10 There is no one righteous, not even one.
2. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
3. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.
4. Romans 5:8 God demonstrated his love for us in this; while we were still
sinners Christ died for us.
5. Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Our scripture reading for the day includes a portion of “The Roman Road.” It was first introduced to me as a way of explaining my Christian faith to those with questions. It may be the road less traveled, but I invite you to join me on the reality of this mysterious yet marvelous path to eternity, and please take the hand of anyone and everyone you can to come along. His Grace is truly enough!
