Christ provides us with a number of universal commands (worship\serve God, pray at all times, teach\disciple others, good works, etc.), these are commands that are common to all disciples of Christ and are not in any way restricted to some Christians. Our Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and Christ’s last recorded words before ascension, "you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8b) are excellent examples of this command.

In Matthew 28 Christ was speaking directly to the eleven Disciples and in Acts 1 to the Apostles whom He had chosen. So how do these commands from Christ to His immediate Disciples and Apostles get transferred down through the ages to you? Are you really commanded to witness to others about the Gospel of Christ? Are you really commanded to go make disciples of all the nations, baptize them, and teach them all of Christ’s commands? Or is it more comfortable to believe that these commands are only relevant to ordained ministers, or those that have specific Gifts of the Spirit in the areas of preaching, teaching, evangelism, etc.

This is my testimony. There is one God. The Bible is God Breathed, every word of it is true and it is God’s message to us about Himself. He has revealed Himself to mankind through the Scriptures in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God created the cosmos, nothing has been or ever will be created outside of Him. God created man, in His image, and man once communed with God freely. Man broke that communion by disobeying God, and since then, every human ever born was born out of communion with God.

The Roman Road is a collection of verses in Paul’s Epistle to the Romans that offers a clear and structured path to Jesus Christ. Although many people believe they will go to heaven because they have lived a good life, done charity work, been baptized as a child, attended church, or treated others fairly, the Bible declares that none of us can live up to God’s standards of righteousness. Therefore, we need a road to God that doesn’t rely on anything we do, but rather, relies on the gift of His grace alone.
