As with any plan, it isn't perfect, but has been very helpful for many over the years in finding a way to share the main points of the gospel. It has a few variations, but here is the most complete version I can offer you.
The Romans Road (the full version)
God the Creator of
Life: Romans 1:20-21
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible
qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being
understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For
although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to
him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
The Fact of Our
Sin—Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God,
Man’s Inability to Be
Right with God—Romans 3:10
As
it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one…”
The Penalty of
Sin—Romans 6:23a
For the wages of sin is death,
but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God’s Plan of
Salvation—Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his
own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
God’s Promise of
Eternal Life—Romans 6:23b
For
the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
Man’s Proper
Response—Romans 10:9-10, 13
9 because,
if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart
that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For
with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses
and is saved.
13 For
“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
The Results of
Salvation—
No condemnation—Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Peace with God—Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been justified
by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
