This is what is commonly referred to as the Roman Road. 

I had a pretty good opinion of myself until a friend invited me to take a walk down the Roman Road.  He used just a single book in the Bible to open my eyes to my relationship with God, and I haven’t been the same since.

He warned me that the trip might hurt, and he was right becaue he started by revealing my real status before God.  “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God…”  Romans 3:23.

Then I learned of sin’s penalty.  “For the wages of sin is death…”  Romans 6:23a.

He went on to tell me that God loves me so much he offers an alternative called ‘eternal life’… “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  Romans 6:23b

Then he showed me how God provided his son Jesus as an atoning sacrafice for my sin.  Jesus took my penalty!  “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Romans 5:8

I wondered if God would accept me.  He assured me with even more good news.  “For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  Romans 10:13

My friend showed me what I should do to received eternal life.  “That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”  Romans 10:9

We prayed together, and I gladly accepted God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus.  I asked him if there was anything in the book of Romans that could help me with my new life.  He pointed to the beginning of Romans 12… “… present your bodies a living sacrafice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world:  but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” 

He explained that if I gave God first place in my life, other things would work out according to God’s plan for me.  I read a lot of the Bible since that day, and my friend was right!  My life has been transformed.

I don’t believe that God’s plan for the needs of man are fully realized; if they were, we wouldn’t see such wide-spread failure, poverty, sickness, and unhappiness among so many on earth in this life. 

It is not, nor could it be God’s will for man to suffer misery and want.  It’s His will that we should know that we are enabled by the gospel to overcome obstacles of life and be saved, prosperous, and happy in Christ.

We cannot secure our best, nor the best for those we come into contact with when we live in defeat and failure in any aspect in life.

We have GUARANTEED access to success in life when we obey God’s Laws Of Prosperity.  

However, before we begin to go there, it’s imperative we understand that there is DANGER in prosperity.  It’s called “covetousness”. 

Luke 12: 15 says, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness:  for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” 

Read Luke 12:13-21.   A great parable and strong lesson about the Danger of Prosperity. 

I look forward to presenting a 10 part series on the Laws of Prosperity that God has provided for those who trust and obey.
