Notes About The Poem

The "gospel" refers to the preaching about Jesus Christ and God’s saving power accomplished through him for all who believe (Rom 1:16). It is offered "free of charge."

Romans Road

The starting point is one:sixteen
God’s power through faith foreseen

One:seventeen’s righteous decree
Salvation by faith is the key

Three:twenty-three indicts us all
Sin’s “glory of God” shortfall

Four:three is Abraham’s lead
Faith the only righteous deed

Five:eight provides a Substitute
Sin had left us destitute
God’s love delivered up His Son
The payment for sin is done

Sidestep death in six:twenty-three
Eternal Life in Christ is free

No condemnation in eight:one
Never separated from God’s Son

Ten:nine-and-ten is the TNT
“Salvation power for faith in Me”
With your mouth you confess it
With your heart you accept it

“Believe My promises” in ten:thirteen
Jesus Christ our go-between
Faith in Him the only condition
For Kingdom of God admission
