How is “The Romans Road” a simple approach to sharing the Gospel? Is it simpler than others you have seen?
-
It is simple and explains the problem and the solution. Memorize it and share it with others.

The Romans Road is a simple way to share the Gospel. However, I do believe FCA has the simplest version call “The Four.” It is 4 simple steps tied to Bible verses and concludes with a prayer.

By using a comparison that a physical Roman road led to Rome we can use a few simple and easy to understand verses to show how a spiritual Roman road leads us to a destination in heaven. I have seen some that are comparable to this and others that were very complex.

The coincidental fact that the ROMAN LETTER has a concentrated series of statements about the gospel that is comprehensive and is spread through its pages and that ROME had an extensive road system across much of its empire that connected distance places to the capital provides a great way to introduce the concept of a “Roman” Road that leads to Christ. The verses in Paul’s letter can be arranged in a series that utilizes each as a simple statement that amounts to a separate “step” on the way to faith. [I am disappointed that nothing is said, in most Roman Road presentations, about water baptism when it is so plainly stated as a threshold experience for the believer.] Otherwise, this presentation can be helpful in bringing some people to Christ, especially if they have a respect for the Bible or, at least, a healthy interest in its contents. Another approach might be best with others who shy away from Scripture or distrust it as a source of truth. My preference, in general, is to make a direct application of the phrases used in Acts 22:14-16: “Then he [Ananias] said [Saul of Tarsus], ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear His voice. You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’”

It is simpler and a good way to explain the Gospel. It explains not only who Jesus is and what He did for all of mankind but it explains why we need a Savior.
