If you ever have the opportunity to travel in the regions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, you will likely travel some ancient roads that were built when Rome ruled the world. The Romans made some very durable roads! They realized the importance of good roads early on. The expression, “All roads lead to Rome” was based on fact. They carefully and meticulously planned an infrastructure that would connect every province and major city in the Empire with its capitol, Rome! They spared no expense in the construction of these roads, so consequently, many of them are still used today! All you had to do was follow the road, and you would eventually come to Rome. Isn’t that something, a road that has withstood the test of time and circumstance!
In our Bible we find a road that will lead us to salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is referred to as The Roman Road because it is in the book of Romans, and because it also withstands the passage of time and circumstance. I invite you to walk The Roman Road to Salvation.
