Most Christian tracts that involve the Romans Road to Salvation end up in Romans 10, but Romans 10 has nothing to do with eternal justification before God in the dispensation of grace. The REAL Romans Road to Salvation ends in Romans 5:1.

Many Pastors will tell you that being justified means it’s just like you never sinned. This isn’t really true. If it were just as if you’d never sinned, you would still be of Adam. Being justified is being given the righteousness of Christ in the eyes of God. It is being imputed to you something that doesn’t belong to you – the…
God promised many blessings to Abraham. Today many Christians believe that we should help national Israel and Jews to get God’s blessings. This is not how we get Abraham’s blessings today. The blessings were promised to his seed, and we must be part of that seed to get the blessings of Abraham.
Many Christians will tell you that they believe that personal eternal salvation is obtained by faith alone, but then they will subtly add something. They will tell you to repent of your sins (by which they mean turn from your sins). They will say that if your life is not transformed outwardly, then you probably aren’t saved. Repentance means to change your…
The gospel of the Reformation came to the realization that it was attained by faith alone – sola fide. But today, when searching through the myriad of preachers who proclaim the gospel,’ how many of them still hold to that truth? Some say that you have to proclaim it out loud.

The number seven in scripture is very important. It is often identified with completion. Interestingly, Christ have to have seven characteristics to be Israel’s Messiah. He also had to take seven downward steps to achieve our salvation in him. We also have to take seven steps up to be saved – yet all of those steps were achieved for us by Christ.…
When Christ entered Jerusalem as King, as prophesied in the Old Testament, the multitudes cried out, quoting Psalms 118. When John was testifying to the Pharisees and saw Jesus, he proclaimed: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” The leadership of Israel saw the miracles and the fulfilled prophesies that Christ was doing. They knew he…
Palm Sunday is more than just the day in which Christ entered Jerusalem as was prophesied in the Jewish scriptures. It was a day which should have been anticipated and understood by the nation. The instructions for that day were laid out in Psalms 118. Even as the multitude cried out: “Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the…
A New Year’s Resolution that was meant to be humorous: “This New Year I’ve resolved to lead a better life. Now all I have to do is find someone to trade me lives.” For us, there is someone who has traded his life for ours. Jesus Christ died for us so that he could give his life to us so that he…
The mis-understanding of I John 1:8-10 has caused many bad doctrines and even confusion about how one obtains eternal life in any dispensation. Jesus Christ is eternal life and the only way to receive eternal life is by the gift of God placing one into Christ. There are never any works involved. The confession in I John has nothing to do with…
