THE PLAN OF SALVATION

 

Are you uncertain where you will spend eternity when you die? Are you frustrated with the direction of your life? Do you want to give up and start over? 

The answer to these questions and dilemmas are found in God’s word – the Bible. God loves us and doesn’t want us to feel helpless or in a state of desperation.

So how do you start a new life?

The Bible says in Romans 5:1 We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 10:10  I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

So what keeps us from having the life God planned for us?

We are separated from God, because God gave us a will and the freedom of choice. We choose to disobey Him and go our own way – which is called sin. This separates us from God. 

The Bible says in Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

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

There is only one way to bridge the gap between sinful humans and God.

The Bible says in I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.

I Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.

God has provided the only way back to Him, but YOU must make the choice.

The Bible says in John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

You must make the choice to accept Christ or reject Him.

Here is how you can accept Christ into your life:

  • Admit your need. (I am a sinner)
  • Be willing to turn from your sins. (Repent)
  • Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave (Be saved by faith)
  • Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to control your life through the Holy Spirit Receive Him as Lord and Savior)

We suggest a prayer like this one:

Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I ask you to forgive me. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that You raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and to follow Him as the Lord of my life. Please guide my life and help me to know and to do Your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
