Epistle to Romans salvation bible study

Here is a compilation of bible verses from Romans that deal with Salvation issues to help people get more people saved or maybe even the Lord will use it to get you saved. Paul wrote this epistle in a powerful way wanting all to be saved and showing why we need Jesus for all the wrongs that all have done, without any exception.
I am going to start this with a passage in Romans chapter 11, where Paul writes that the gentiles were sought after with the gospel to make the Jews jealous so that some of them might be saved and Paul uses the example of grafting branches into a tree to make his point come across.

(Romans 11:11) So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

(Romans 11:12) Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!

(Romans 11:13) Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

(Romans 11:14) in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.

(Romans 11:15) For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

(Romans 11:16) If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

(Romans 11:17) But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree,

(Romans 11:18) do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.

(Romans 11:19) Then you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

(Romans 11:20) That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear.

(Romans 11:21) For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

(Romans 11:22) Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

(Romans 11:23) And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

(Romans 11:24) For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.

(Romans 11:25) Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

(Romans 11:26) And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob";

(Romans 11:27) "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

(Romans 11:28) As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

(Romans 11:29) For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

(Romans 11:30) For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

(Romans 11:31) so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy.

(Romans 11:32) For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

Paul himself speaks of the motivation of this project and study and all witnessing for that matter, very well in Romans chapter 1 in these verses
(Romans 1:13) I want you to know, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

(Romans 1:14) I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

(Romans 1:15) So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

(Romans 1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

(Romans 1:17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."

Romans chapter 3 goes on to stress the points that there is no favoritism that everyone, Jew and Gentile has done wrong and failed in the sight of God, falling short of His glory but are freely justified by what Jesus did on the cross at cavalry as a gift earned by faith in Jesus
(Romans 3:9) What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,

(Romans 3:10) as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one;

(Romans 3:11) no one understands; no one seeks for God.

(Romans 3:12) All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one."

(Romans 3:13) "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips."

(Romans 3:14) "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness."

(Romans 3:15) "Their feet are swift to shed blood;

(Romans 3:16) in their paths are ruin and misery,

(Romans 3:17) and the way of peace they have not known."

(Romans 3:18) "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

(Romans 3:19) Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

(Romans 3:20) For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

(Romans 3:21) But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it--

(Romans 3:22) the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:

(Romans 3:23) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

(Romans 3:24) and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

(Romans 3:25) whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

(Romans 3:26) It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

(Romans 3:27) Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.

(Romans 3:28) For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

(Romans 3:29) Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

(Romans 3:30) since God is one--who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

(Romans 3:31) Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

These verses in Romans chapter 4 state it is indeed by faith that we get the promise of this salvation and more because of Jesus who was delivered up
(Romans 4:16) Therefore it is of faith that it may be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

(Romans 4:17) (just as it is written, "I have appointed you a father of many nations") before God, whom he believed, the One who gives life to the dead and calls those things which are not as though they were;

(Romans 4:18) who, contrary to hope, on hope believed, so that he should become a father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

(Romans 4:19) And not weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, already having been worn out (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

(Romans 4:20) he did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but was empowered by faith, giving glory to God,

(Rom 4:21) and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to do.

(Romans 4:22) And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."

(Romans 4:23) Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was accounted to him,

(Romans 4:24) but for us also, to whom it was going to be imputed, those believing on Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

(Romans 4:25) who was delivered up for our transgressions, and was raised for our justification.

These verses in Romans chapter 5 states that Jesus died for us while we were weak and that as sin came through one man righteousness came from one man’s obedience- Jesus to death so that the gift of God can be given- this is verses 6 through 21
(Romans 5:6) For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

(Romans 5:7) For one will scarcely die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die--

(Romans 5:8) but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

(Romans 5:9) Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

(Romans 5:10) For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

(Romans 5:11) More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

(Romans 5:12) Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned--

(Romans 5:13) for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.

(Romans 5:14) Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

(Romans 5:15) But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

(Romans 5:16) And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.

(Romans 5:17) For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

(Romans 5:18) Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

(Romans 5:19) For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

(Romans 5:20) Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

(Romans 5:21) so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

In Romans six Jesus cam so that once people who were once slaves to sin can become slaves of righteousness through Jesus and His gift
(Romans 6:17) But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,

(Romans 6:18) and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

(Romans 6:19) I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

(Romans 6:20) For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

(Romans 6:21) But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

(Romans 6:22) But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

(Romans 6:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

the first 8 verses of this chapter, 10, of the book of Romans which express my own personal desire as well as Paul’s for people to be saved, encouraging intercessory prayer for the unsaved people in that aspect too, that they indeed get saved and reminding them that the word of the Lord is indeed near them
(Romans 10:1) Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.

(Romans 10:2) For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

(Romans 10:3) For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

(Romans 10:4) For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

(Romans 10:5) For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

(Romans 10:6) But the righteousness based on faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)

(Romans 10:7) or "'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

(Romans 10:8) But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);

The last 8 verses of Romans chapter 10 continue to go on with the theme and reminding us of the need to preach the gospel and even stating that people who did not really seek God found Him and are sought by Him (the gentiles, I guess)
(Romans 10:14) How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

(Romans 10:15) And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

(Romans 10:16) But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

(Romans 10:17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

(Romans 10:18) But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world."

(Romans 10:19) But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry."

(Romans 10:20) Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, "I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me."

(Romans 10:21) But of Israel he says, "All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people."

And here are the key five verses in Romans 10 about Salvation and what must be done to be saved:
(Romans 10:9) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

(Romans 10:10) For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

(Romans 10:11) For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

(Romans 10:12) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

(Romans 10:13) For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

The first sixteen verses state as we have died and been resurrected with Jesus we are no longer to continue in sin, that grace can abound (though we will struggle- I know I do and I would be lying to say I don’t)
(Romans 6:1) What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?

(Romans 6:2) By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

(Romans 6:3) Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

(Romans 6:4) We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

(Romans 6:5) For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

(Romans 6:6) We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

(Romans 6:7) For one who has died has been set free from sin.

(Romans 6:8) Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

(Romans 6:9) We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

(Romans 6:10) For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.

(Romans 6:11) So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 6:12) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.

(Romans 6:13) Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.

(Romans 6:14) For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

(Romans 6:15) What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

(Romans 6:16) Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Here in the last verses of Romans chapter 7 it is noted that the flesh and the spirit are at war with one another but I am thankful for Jesus
(Romans 7:22) For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being,

(Romans 7:23) but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

(Romans 7:24) Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

(Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

This story goes on in Romans chapter 8, about the war of the flesh and spirit, the flesh leading to Christ but the Spirit to life, but reminds us that we are all sons of God and even cry Abba, Father. The end makes powerful promises that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ absolutely nothing
(Romans 8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

(Romans 8:2) For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

(Romans 8:3) For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

(Romans 8:4) in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

(Romans 8:5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

(Romans 8:6) For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

(Romans 8:7) For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.

(Romans 8:8) Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

(Romans 8:9) You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

(Romans 8:10) But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

(Romans 8:11) If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

(Romans 8:12) So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

(Romans 8:13) For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

(Romans 8:14) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

(Romans 8:15) For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

(Romans 8:16) The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

(Romans 8:17) and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

(Romans 8:18) For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

(Romans 8:19) For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

(Romans 8:20) For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

(Romans 8:21) that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

(Romans 8:22) For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

(Romans 8:23) And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

(Romans 8:24) For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

(Romans 8:25) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

(Romans 8:26) Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

(Romans 8:27) And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

(Romans 8:28) And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

(Romans 8:29) For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

(Romans 8:30) And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

(Romans 8:31) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

(Romans 8:32) He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

(Romans 8:33) Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.

(Romans 8:34) Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

(Romans 8:35) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

(Romans 8:36) As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

(Romans 8:37) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

(Romans 8:38) For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

(Romans 8:39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jesus showed His love towards man by being the redemption force, dying on the cross willingly and out of love, to make atonement for all of our sins, wanting to have relationship restored between man and God which was severed by those sins. This is that powerful love relationship that comes as a gift from God and is NOT anything we can earn ourselves. This relationship with God is powerful and there is nothing that can compare or come remotely close to it, nothing at all. I am now including a prayer which will invite Jesus into your heart to begin this love relationship with Him, so please pray this prayer with me
Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess Jesus as our Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.

Amen.

God bless you and yours
