Evangelism! A command from Jesus: Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
For many Christians evangelism is not even a remote priority and for some they face the problem of how to witness to a nonbeliever. Sharing the Gospel is always difficult because it is offensive to spiritually death people because they supress the truth (Romans 1:18). So to awaken the dead we need to penetrate their hearts with the Word of God so the Holy Spirit can regenerate his or her heart to repentance. We need to understand we do not possess the power to save anyone, only God alone has the power to save and He has already chosen those to be saved before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:3-4) but God uses evangelism as a means to use us as an instrument in His redemptive plan. Here are a few verses we can use to start witnessing to the lost. It is called the Romans Road because all the passages you use to witness is in the Book of Romans.
Romans 3:23
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:8
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 10:13
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
