“Methods of Evangelism”
Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1- There are two “Intellectual” methods in evangelism. The first is called the Roman Roads and the other is the Four Spiritual Laws. The Roman Roads should be considered the better of the two. The reason behind this reasoning is that all the essentials are found in the book of Romans. It consists of seven verses total starting with Romans 3:10, "As it is written, 'There is none righteous, not even one... '" Rom. 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Rom. 5:12, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned." Rom. 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Rom. 5:8, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Rom. 10:9-10, "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Rom. 10:13, "For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved." In each of these verses it shows us the step by step method of God’s love for each of us and how each of us can be saved. We can simply go to the book of Romans and highlight each of these verses. By doing this we can create our own Roman Road in our Bibles. The advantage in doing this is because the other method, verses are scattered throughout the Bible. This creates a simple quick reference to turn to when we share the love of Christ with someone. Truly the only one disadvantage to the Roman Road is that it given to us by one author and it was only written to certain group of people of biblical times, but despite this disadvantage it is still easier to show someone the steps of salvation
