Perhaps the most common Evangelical presentation of our need for Christ and his sacrifice comes from a theological model called "The Romans Road" (also referred to as "The Four Spiritual Laws"). Is God's wrath something which must be appeased and satiated, and is Jesus thus our "escape valve" from the Father? Or is the Romans Road a model which should be critiqued and reconciled by thoughtful Christians?
