The Genesis Roman Road

Through the years many folks have used the "Roman Road" passages from the Bible when witnessing to others about Jesus Christ.

And, yes, that is an excellent way to witness.

But recently we came across the "Genesis - Roman Road"

It was in the book "Tower of Babel" by Bodie Hodge, so we assume he is the author of this method of witnessing.

So what is this collection of Scripture verses used in the Genesis - Roman Road?

Here it is:

____________________________________________

Genesis 1: 1 God made everything

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Genesis 1: 31 God made everything perfectly -- no death or suffering.

"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.

So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

Genesis 3:17-19 The punishment for sin is death;

due to sin, the world is no longer perfect.

"Then to Adam He said, 'Because you have heeded the voice of your wife,

and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying,

'You shall not eat of it',

Cursed is the ground for your sake;

in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.

Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,

and you shall eat the herb of the field.

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground,

for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return."

Romans 5: 12 Because our mutual grandfather Adam sinned, we now sin, too.

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world,

and death through sin,

and thus death spread to all men,

because all sinned"

Romans 3:23 We need to realize we are all sinners, including ourselves.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Romans 6:23 The punishment for sin is a just punishment - death -

but God came to rescue us and give the free gift of salvation

by sending His Son, Jesus.

"For the wages of sin is death,

but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"

Romans 10:9 You need to believe in Jesus; salvation is not by works, but by

faith. (see also John 3:16 and Acts 16:30-31)

"That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus

and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,

you will be saved."

Romans 5: 1 -- Being saved, you are now justified and have peace with God.

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ."
