GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION
ROMANS ROAD
Who needs salvation?

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" - Romans 3:10
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23

How did God demonstrate his love for me?
God allowed for his perfect son, Jesus, to be crucified on our behalf. He died in our place, even though He had never sinned.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
How do I receive the gift of salvation?
Repent of your sin and believe in Him.
