Roman Road

cru just started having this ev training every monday, and im excited. monday we went over the roman road. while i already know most of it, its a good reminder that we should have this memorized...

the reason: romans 3:10 (to yuma???)
no man is righteous, not even one.

the issue: romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
-nobody measures up to God. we have all sinned by "missing the mark".

the consequence: romans 6:23
for the wages of sin is death,

the good news:
but the gift of God is eternal life.

more good news:
romans 10:9-13
⁹That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. ¹¹As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."^a]">[a] ¹²For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

one thing i really like about campus crusade is its emphasis on evangelism. i think with all of the christian groups out there, its easy to get focused on personal growth, but that really isnt what we are called to do. while there is the element of our vertical relationship with Christ that needs to be "maintained", there is also the horizontal factor where we need to reach out to those around us. can you imagine what it would be like if Jesus only focused on his relationship with his Father?

"It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick... For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
-Matthew 9:12-13

so just reminding yall to find ways to reach out on your campuses! go and fulfill that great commission! go go go!
