Dear concerned Christian. Below you will find the "Romans Road," designed to help you present God’s plan of salvation in as simple a way as possible. It in essence is the “ABCs” of the Gospel. The Romans Road will help you present the Gospel to anyone, including children. It is recommended that you study the Romans Road ide carefully, committing it to memory, if possible. Get to know the Bible verses and the flow of the presentation. Pray in advance, before you even have someone to present this to, that God will give you an opportunity to use it, and that you will use it effectively. Here are some pointers for using this presentation:
 

1. When the Lord gives you someone to present the plan of salvation to (from here referred to as a “counselee”), whether at church or any place, make him/her feel as comfortable as possible. Be strategic in your seating arrangement, and try to remove any distractions.
2. Be sure and let the counselee know that you genuinely care about him/her, even if you’ve just met.
3. Begin by asking the counselee his/her name, if you do not know it. Refer to him/her by name the rest of the presentation.
4. Ask the counselee if he/she desires to be saved, or come to Christ, or whatever phrase you feel is appropriate.
5. Though the Bible verses in the presentation are included, be sure to have a Bible with you. Sometimes counselees want to “see it for themselves.”
6. Present the presentation in its entirety. Do not “skip” any section, whereas every point represents the Biblical plan of salvation.
7. It is okay to “read” the presentation. That is better than “stumbling” or leaving something out. Be sure to let the counselee see the form.
8. If you lead the counselee in the sinner’s prayer, be sure to encourage him/her to write this fact in the front of his/her Bible.
9. If necessary, pray aloud with the counselee. Really stress the need to come to Christ “now,” without “pressuring” the counselee.
10. Commit to “staying in touch” with him/her.

Congratulations on your decision to come to Christ and take Him as your personal Savior.  Since the idea of “being saved” may be very new or confusing to you, this guideline will help to simplify the plan of God’s wonderful salvation for you.
