The Romans Road Summary of Method: The Romans road is a term that was coined by Dr. Jack Hyles in the late 1940’s (www.Jack Hyles.com, 2011), and uses multiple verses from the Book of Romans to easily walk an unbeliever through the steps of salvation. Starting with Romans 3:10-12, 23 “As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”(NKJV) And working your way through seven or eight verses you can get an unbeliever from recognizing that they are a sinner in need of salvation to being saved to one who can be saved through the grace of God. The end being that the person understands and accepts Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (NKJV) Advantages of using this method: There are only a few verses in this method and they are very easy to memorize which allows the person witnessing to stay on track, and avoid the need to thumb through your Bible to look for the appropriate verse. People want to know that you know what you are talking about, and that you are confident and comfortable talking about a topic. Even if the person decides not to take any further action at least you know you have given them a solid Bible based argument for their need of salvation. Disadvantages of using this method: While this is a great method if you are in kind of a hurry and don’t particularly have a whole lot of time to get into the subject of salvation, however we don’t usually know if we are going to have a lot of time or not. We must be prepared to answer other questions that the person might have. People will always want to know more than just the basics, and not being prepared beyond this could cost you.
