Say Roman's Road to Salvation in your own words
No one is perfect. Everyone does bad things that make God sad, bad things are called sins. In order to be forgiven for those sins we have to die. But God loves us so much that He sent Jesus do die instead of us. Not only Jesus took away our punishment for sin He also gave us a wonderful gift, eternal life in heaven with him. To receive this forgiveness you have to allow Jesus in your life by praying to him. When we accept Jesus in our heart we become saved.
