Romans Road Part Two – Second half of the Gospel

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 New International Version (NIV)

Without the bad, you can’t appreciate the good. And the Law (Ten Commandments) makes the bad known. The Ten reveal that we have fallen short of God’s glory standard. We know we don’t measure up. By now I hope you know that the best we deserve is a free to trip to Hell. I hope by now you know that you can’t earn a pass on Hell. You can’t “be good enough” and you can’t “make a deal” with God.

I once said that the problem with Jesus is that he does things for us that we think we can do on our own. We want to make up our own ideas on sin removal (if we think we have any sin to begin with) and we expect God to call our ideas acceptable. If anything, that attitude is a smack on the face of Christ. It is an insult to the cross. If you and I could actually be reunited with God on our own, do you think God’s son would have to die in our place?

Do you really want to take part in your salvation from Hell? Do you want to take things into your own hands? Then say yes to Christ! That is the only control you and I really have.
