God's Plan of Salvation

Picture
)     The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven.
 Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” (John 14:6)
Good works cannot save you.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
     Trust Jesus Christ today!  Here’s what you must do:
     1. Admit you are a sinner.
          “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23) 
          “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all me,
          for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)     
          “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us

     2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
          Jesus said: “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:5)
          “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent;” (Acts 17:30)

     3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.
          “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
          not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
          “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)         
          “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
          raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

     4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your personal Saviour.
          “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
          unto salvation (Romans 10:10)         
          “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
     5. What to Pray:
          Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner, I’m sorry for my sins
          and for life I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe your only Son Jesus Christ shed His blood on
          the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, I am now willing to turn from my sin and follow you. You
          said in your Word if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from
          the dead, we shall 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. Jesus I ask you to come into my heart as my personal Savior and
          according to your word right now I am saved. Amen.
          “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that
          believed on his mane;” (John 1:12)
          “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
          things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

     6. If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior, as a Christian you should:
     A. Read you Bible every day to get to know Christ better.
          “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
          the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:14)
          “thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119:105)
     B. Talk to God in prayer every day.
          “And all thins, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” (Matthew 21:22)
          “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests
          be made know unto God.” (Philippians 4:6)
     C. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached
     and the bible is the final authority.

          “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
          of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 28:19)
          “Not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together, as the manner of same is; but exhorting one another:
          and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25)
          “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for
          instruction in righteousness:” (2 Timothy 3:16)
     D. Tell others about Christ.
          “And he said unto them Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)
          “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is
          unto me if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16)
          “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
          that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16)
