Summary of Method – The Romans Road is an intellectual method of evangelism. It utilizes the book of Romans to illustrate to a nonbeliever the steps necessary in order to be saved. This method walks the evangelist and the nonbeliever through specific verses in the Bible. These verses have been selected because they call attention to the need for salvation, they state the good news that a way to salvation has already been prepared, they warn nonbelievers of what will happen if the nonbeliever remains in the sinful state, they inform the nonbeliever that there is no other way to salvation except through Jesus, and they proclaim that confessing this truth is the action which needs to be taken. Dr. Jack Hyles preached the original Romans Road list on Sunday morning, June 28, 1970. During his sermon, Dr. Hyles said, “I came up with a little plan of presenting the plan of salvation called ‘The Romans Road’ whereby you take verses contained in Romans and show people how to be saved using Romans 3:10, and Romans 3:23, and Romans 5:12, and Romans 5:8 and on and on”. Since the time that the original plan was proposed by Dr. Hyles, variations have arisen. When an evangelist sits with a nonbeliever he or she need only to read though these selections from the book of Romans. Depending on which specific Romans Roads plan is chosen, there could be variations in the numbers of verses or the order in which the verses are read with the nonbeliever.

There are many advantages of using this method to evangelize. First of all, it is very clear and is easy to expound on. Sometimes it is hard to know exactly how to tell someone the Gospel. It is often difficult to explain the Gospel in an orderly fashion and to explain every detail, but using the Romans Road makes it easy to follow a logical order. Second, it is only six verses and easy to memorize. It is impossible to fully explain the Gospel with only a few verses, but having the main points memorized with these six short verses allows for a clear explanation as well as a more natural flow in the conversation. Third, the points are

“Servant evangelism is a combination of simple acts of kindness and intentional sharing of the gospel. Servant evangelism involves intentionally sharing Christ by putting love in action” (Earley & Wheeler, 2016, p. 148). My intentions are forthright and I am being obedient by loving my neighbor and serving needs. Why this the best method for me Servant Evangelism can be used in every aspect of life.

There are lots of problem that early christen face. My uncle is now 95 years old and I remember he told me that outsiders used to intentionally speak against the church. People were not nice to everyone like they seen to be now. While some may have done so simply by repeating unfounded rumors, others used to do so much out of prejudice and envy. The bottom line was, the Lord’s people received a lot of unfair, bad publicity.

In the beginning, God spoke all of creation into existence. From the dust of the ground He formed man, and from the man, He formed woman. After creating man, He looked at all of His creation and said that it was very good (Genesis 1:31). Adam and Eve lived and worked in the beautiful garden of Eden, enjoying all of God’s creations and fellowship with Him. That is, until one day Adam and Even sinned before the Lord by eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Their decision, impacted by Satan himself, was in direct conflict with God’s directions for them. For He had told them that they could eat of any tree of the garden, except from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Their actions introduced sin into the human

Randy Newman’s book, Questioning Evangelism, is a book about on how evangelizing is to ask questions, and therefore, letting people communicate with questions about their own truths about God. Newman writes this book hoping that anyone who reads it will gain a better understanding of what evangelism is. Newman’s book is divided into three parts: why questioning evangelism is needed, considering what questions non-believers are asking, and observing why asking questions and knowing answers doesn’t mean a Christian’s own problem like cold-heartedness or anger. Throughout the book Newman brings readers right back to bible scriptures. Even though he appeals to accounts of people like Paul in Acts preaching on Mars Hill, he also shows how the wisdom literature is applied to our evangelistic attempts.

Evangelism in the early church as given by Dr. Wheeler was defined by five characteristics in the new testament (Earley & Wheeler, 2010, p. 339). The first characteristics were “The early church ministered through constant presence” (Earley & Wheeler, 2010, p. 339). They ministered through constant presence by going out into the community every day spreading the gospel to everyone who was near and far (Earley & Wheeler, 2010, p. 339). The second characteristic is “The early church depended on a consuming power” (Earley & Wheeler, 2010, p. 341). The power was given from the Holy Spirit which involves courage, boldness, confidence, insight, ability, and authority. This power allowed

We are living in a secular culture and it is important that we do our utmost best to try and reach this culture. The biggest difficulty in the church today is reaching this culture. It 's very difficult for the church to tell this secular culture about Jesus Christ. So the question is what types of practices we can use to get the message of Jesus Christ out to the world?

The Romans Road is a evangelistic method that is simple and direct. This method is a road through the book of Romans that explains why we need salvation, how we can receive salvation and God provides Salvation. First Romans 3:23 says, “ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (KJV) Second Romans 6:23 says, “ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Third, Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Fourth Romans 10:9 says, “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Fifth Romans 5:1 says, “ Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The sixth step is in Romans 8:1 says, “ Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. The final verse is Romans 8:38-39 which is “ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’’

Unlike, Priests and Nuns who devote their lives to God, by taking vows of poverty and celibacy, which are undertaken in the pursuit of goodness and the truth. Evangelists enjoy the same advantages as priests and nuns, while also being devoted to their families, this takes the act of evangelizing away from educating people about God and makes it about making enough money to feed and provide for their family. While Nuns and priests are restricted to imparting knowledge to people through the primary use of the Bible or their education in theology, the evangelist can preach whatever they want as long as there is a religious undertone. When looked at in-depth, the act of evangelization should not be done with the intention of making money, but it should be done because there is a willingness to give up something for the

Christians are commanded in the Bible to take the gospel into all the world. God desires that all people know Him. However, since He is in heaven and not on the earth now, it is up to His people to show others the way to Him. Much of that testimony for Christ is through the way Christians lives are lived. It is well known that
