Roman Road to Salvation (Free Printables)
I received a letter recently from a reader named Nelli. She and her husband are doing a Bible camp, needed some resources on the Roman Road to Salvation, and wondered if I might have anything available.
As it so happens, I do!
I created the following printables for my son last year, as he was trying to learn those evangelistic Bible verses in several different languages so as to be able to share the gospel more freely with folks who might not speak English.
I emailed the following PDFs to Nelli, but I wanted to share them here, as well, in case anybody else might have a use for them.
Isaiah 52:7 reads, “How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’”
And Ephesians 6:15 echoes these words when it urges us put on the full armor of God, which includes having our “feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.”
I hope these printables will help prepare YOU to proclaim salvation and share the gospel of peace with those who may never have heard the good news before.
The Roman Road of Salvation (Multi-Lingual Printables):
This is the version I sent to my grandkids for our family’s monthly memory challenge for May. But I know some believers prefer reading and memorizing the King James Version. If that includes you, here is a KJV version instead:
But since several of my homeschool high schoolers are currently taking Spanish, I made a Spanish version, too. That will allow them to share the gospel with any native Spanish speakers they may encounter — which happens pretty frequently since we live in Texas.
Of course, my husband took French in high school and I took German in college, so I created French and German translations, as well:
And, last but not least, I did an Italian translation of the Roman Road to Salvation, just to round everything out:
Greetings!
I appreciate the Roman Road handout especially in the NASB. However, the reference to immersion has been left out from Romans 6:3-11 as verse 4 states you can’t walk in newness of life without baptism. How does your body of sin get done away with if a person is not baptized. Scripture is clear that baptism is for the forgiveness of sins and if you don’t have forgiveness of sins you’re not in a saved relationship with God. Again, thanks for offering the Roman Road handout.
Blessings!
As I’ve stated before, Alan, I agree that baptism is very important. However, Scripture as a whole teaches that baptism is not the source of salvation, but rather a symbol that salvation has taken place.
I view it like I view my wedding ring. I am married not because I wear a ring on my finger, but because I made a covenant with my husband. The ring is a symbol of that covenant, and I wear it so the world will know about the marriage vows I made to him before God.
If for some reason I could not wear the ring — say I lost both hands in a car accident — I would be no less married. But as long as I have a finger to wear it on, you will find my wedding band there. With the exception of two times when the diamond fell out and I had to leave it at the jeweler’s to be reset, I never take it off.
In the same way, if something makes it impossible for a person to be baptized — say he’s hanging next to Jesus on a cross when he comes to faith and dies without being immersed in water — that doesn’t mean he can’t be saved. That’s why Jesus told the repentant-yet-unbaptised thief, “Today, you will be with Me in paradise.”
Nevertheless, we are commanded to follow the Lord in baptism, and to be obedient to Him, that is what we should do if at all possible. If someone claims to be a believer yet refuses to be baptized though no compelling reason exists that would prevent his doing so, I would question his commitment in the same way I might question the commitment of a married man who refuses to wear his wedding ring when he is away from home on business trips.
Hi Jennifer,
I apologize for taking so long to reply back, life happens right. Allow me to share how the Bible views baptism, then I will address the thief on the cross. Not only does Romans 6:3-11 fit the Roman Road plan of salvation but it is consistent with the biblical teaching on baptism for salvation, not by itself mind you, for belief, faith, confession, repentance, and living faithful to God are all part of salvation. Acts 2:38; 22:16; Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21; Galatians 3:27 all point to the necessity of baptism. As a matter of fact every conversion in Acts mentions baptism for salvation. Now the thief on the cross.
We believe that Jesus had the power to forgive sins while on earth, like the paralytic who came through the roof of the house. Jesus forgave his sins and the thief on the cross was no different. However, the difference between now and then was that the thief was under the Old Covenant and we are under the New Covenant. A will does not take effect until the person is dead. So, we are under the New Covenant.
I hope this helps your understanding, but to keep it simple I view it as a recipe for a cake, without all the ingredients there is no cake and with out all the ingredients to salvation there is no salvation. Blessings to you and your family.
It sounds like neither of us is likely to convince the other, Alan. You and I may have to wait and ask Jesus about it face-to-face once we both get to heaven. And if St. Peter meets us at the pearly gates asking on what basis he should let us into heaven, you can point to your baptism. I will point to the blood Christ shed to cover my sins and the full forgiveness He has promised to all who put their full trust in Him. (Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9; Romans 10:13 )
Thank you so much. My mom has been having a hard time remembering (parkinson’s) what the Roman’s Road is. She always has been, but more so now, very passionate about sharing the salvation message. This will help her a lot.
I also going to pass you web site on to my friend who has been in charge of crafts for the missions trips at church.
Thanks again, Nyna
My mom loved the Trump/Biden bingo cards.
I’m so glad to hear you’re using my resources with your mom and sharing them with your church friends. Thanks for doing that, Nyna!
Thank you so much for this resource!
You are so welcome, Amanda. We can be confident that His Word will never return to Him void without accomplishing what He desires and succeeding in the purpose for which He sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
