Recommended: Introduction to salvation

The Romans Road is a direct outline of how one is to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. It is a step by step method that guides a person from the time they realize their sin and their need for a Savior to the point where they accept Jesus and begin to live their life for Him. The Romans Road uses verses from the book of Romans to justify and explain each step of the process. There is a total of seven steps starting with recognizing the role of God as Creator and us as the creation and ending with the decision to follow Jesus and make Him Lord of your life. Advantages of Using This Method When someone first hears about Salvation they can be a bit confused as to how the process works. People who didn’t grow up in the church hearing …show more content…

It is showing kindness and servitude to others in hopes that your actions will speak of your testimony. David Wheeler (2010) summarizes it perfectly when he says, “Servant evangelism involves intentionally sharing Christ by putting love in action” (p. 151). This method of evangelism means meeting people where they are at in life, breaking down any barriers that would separate, and telling them about the love of Jesus through your actions. Advantages of Using This Method Servant evangelism opens doors for a person to be able to share the good news of the Gospel. When a person is going above and beyond for someone else, it often sparks curiosity as to their reasoning. This opens the door to explain that their reasoning is Jesus and then go further into detail of His love for people (Wheeler, 2010, p. 151). Servant evangelism can also be less intimidating to new believers trying to share their faith. It allows people to make connections with others and then share the Gospel. It also allows Christians to focus on their own heart. Servant evangelism requires humbling of oneself which is a good practice for Christians to be doing every day. Speaking of every day, because servant evangelism is based off of showing love to others, if you are being intentional about it, it will become a habit to put others first in your daily life (Wheeler, 2010, p.

  • Evangelism: The Christian Duty to Share Faith

    1482 Words  | 3 Pages

    In a survey conducted in 2012, LifeWay.com inquired about the importance of evangelism among members of the Christian faith. The results of the survey showed that 80 percent of people who claimed to follow Jesus Christ and had openly devoted themselves to the teaching of Christianity, felt that they had a “personal responsibility to share their religious views and beliefs about Jesus Christ with non-christians” (Wilke, LifeWay.com). Surveys such as this reflect the Christian doctrine of evangelism and the weight it holds within the Christian faith. As can be seen back in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus Christ commanded His followers “to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).” However, Jesus never told His followers how doing this.

    To fully evaluate the role of the sacraments in the journey of the Scripture way of salvation according to John Wesley’s sermons, we must achieve a few important understandings.

Finally, after completing both of these crucial steps, we can then move on to finally understanding the relationship that Wesley has established between these two through his preaching.

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis1:1.) God’s perfect wisdom created everything. In Genesis 1 and 2 we can see that God has loving and gentile nature when He created the earth and heavens. God created man in his image and we are the only creation that God breathed in the breath of life for human beings (Genesis 2:7). God did not do this for any of other creations but only for humans. The Bible has many scriptures that tell us how creative God is. Genesis 1;26 states “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created all of this for us to have fellowship with him.

    The foundation of a Christian worldview is the belief in a personal God, creator and ruler of the universe. The Christian worldview views the world through God’s word, providing the framework for humanity to live by giving meaning and purpose to life. It defines who Jesus is, human nature, and how salvation is achieved. In essence it is the basis of which Christians behave, interact, interpret life and comprehend reality. A Christian worldview imparts confidence, answers to life’s problems, and hope for the future. In this paper I will discuss the essentials of a Christian worldview and an analysis of the influences, benefits, and difficulties sustaining the Christian faith.

  • The Cause And Power Of Evangelism

    Teaching infuses understanding and knowledge. Spreading the message about Christ and the ability to lean, trust, and depend on Him is the message of gospel and the New Testament. “Paul evangelized as the commissioned representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. Evangelism was a task that had been specifically entrusted to him. Paul saw himself as Christ’s herald” (Packer, 1961, p. 42-43). The gospel is a real message about Christ who comes to save real sinners. It’s critically important that sinners come to an understanding that they are far apart from God and known as enemies to Him. “The gospel is a message about sin. It tells us how we have fallen short of God’s standard; how we have become guilty, filthy, and helpless in sin, and now stand under the wrath of God. It tells us that the reason why we sin continually is that we are sinners by nature, and that nothing we do, or try to do, for ourselves can put us right, or bring us back into God’s favor” (Packer, 1961, p.

  • Evangelism Beliefs According to Romans

    1161 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Romans Road to Salvation is a systematic way of explaining the gospel to an unbeliever by referencing a series of Bible verses in the Book of Romans. First, explain the human need: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (New International Version, Romans 3:23). Second, speak to sin’s penalty: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (6:23). Next talk about God’s provision for this penalty: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (5:8). Finally, explain how the person can respond: “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (10:9) (Ashby and Galan).

Finally, Jesus’ public ministry serves as the most effective and important element of his life because of the essential teachings that he speaks of that give inside evidence to the formation of the modern day church.

  • The Salvation of God is the Cure

    “Salvation is evident in the human response in faith, love, and a certain gallantry to the challenges of the world – discrimination, death, poverty, disease, handicaps. It is the unexpected response, unexplained save through the inspiration of the Spirit of God, the work of God’s grace.”(Bullock, James R. Whatever Became of Salvation? Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1979. Print.) I really like this short statement, it explains how salvation is a way to deal with the evil of the world, by simply recognizing that God is truly the only way to live a fulfill life, with a sense of purpose. But the first question we ask ourselves when we decide to get saved is, how, the correct question we should be asking is “what does it mean to get saved? Too often we describe being saved as “getting” or “having” Jesus Christ as our “personal” Lord and Savior. I am part of that population who thought that “getting” or “having” Jesus Christ as our “personal” Lord and Savior was giving you the authority to say “I am saved” or “I am a believer/ Christian.” But like the saying goes “Actions speak louder than words”, to truly be a believer of Jesus Christ, it is not only accepting Him as your Lord and Savior but to also show His love through you. “Salvation is...

  • Essay On Servant Leadership

    1123 Words  | 3 Pages

    Servant leadership is a set of practices that enhances the lives of individuals; in some cases it builds better organizations and just a more caring workplace. The advantages are obvious it gives you a more caring workplace. I think happy workers are more productive workers. A disadvantage would be you always have selfish people that are working for themselves and not for the team that would take advantage of you and the workforce. In the first part of John we are to love one another as we love ourselves. We are to keep the commandments and abide in His love. In the second half of John talks about being friends of Jesus and that we are no longer slaves we know what the master is doing but He has called us friends. “For all things I’ve heard from my father I have made known to you.”(NASB). Everything we do in the workplace to get workers to work more productively I would consider tactics. There is a fine line between too much leniency and not enough leniency in the work place, so the way to avoid making servant leadership just another tactic is to have a nice balance.

  • Pastoral Counseling Essay

    1108 Words  | 3 Pages

    The shepherd and sheep relationship is the best illustration for the relationship between pastor and parishioners. When Jesus asked Simon Peter does he love him three times and said to him “Feed my sheep”, the shepherd and flock relationship has been set. Since Jesus is our good shepherd (Jn. 10:11a), he laid out a good example for us to follow - to lay down his life for the sheep. (Jn. 10:11b) Thus, the wellness of both in and out of the parishioners should always be the concern in the pastors’ hearts. Soul care for the people is essential. Christian friendship is the foundation of Christian soul care. Pastoral ministry including preaching, teaching, and worship forms the broad context of pastoral counseling. Pastoral care is within pastoral ministry but broader than pastoral counseling. God’s love is the source and motivation. Within the pastoral care, there are spiritual direction and pastoral
