How to present the gospel, Romans road stage one. When you're out sewing, firstly you want
to introduce yourself and then you could provide that person with something such as a tract,
for example, to your local independent fundamental Baptist church. And from there you want to
ask them, God forbid if you were to die today, do you know 100% for sure that you're on your
way to heaven? Now providing that person's interested to hear the message and engage
with you. Here we can actually get into presenting the gospel. Starting in 1st John chapter five
verse 13, God writes, these things have a written entry that believe in the name of
the son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may believe
in the name of the son of God. So God's explaining that we can know for sure that when we die,
we'll go to heaven, we'll have eternal life. And it's through his son, Jesus Christ. Now
just believing in God, believing in Jesus Christ is not enough to save us, to take us
to heaven when we die. The core message of the word of God found in the Holy Bible, the
uncorrupted King James Version, is the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants us
to know and what actually saves us. Starting in Romans 3 23, the Bible reads, for all have
sinned and come short of the glory of God. And in Romans 3 10, God writes, as it is written,
there is none righteous known at one. So what God's telling us is that we're all sinners,
we've all fallen short of his glory. And in 1 John chapter three, verse four, God explains
to us, whosoever committed sin transgresseth also the law, for sin is the transgression
of the law. So here we learn that sin is the transgression of God's law. And continuing
in Romans 6 23, God tells us, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So I want to focus on the first portion of that scripture,
for the wages of sin is death. When I go to work, what I earn is a wage, but when I sin,
what I earn is death. And when the Bible talks about death, it explains there is more than
just the first death, the physical death, but there is also a second death, a spiritual
death.
