God's Plan of Salvation
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:
- 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 men, 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." (1 John 1:10)
- 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
every where to repent:" (Acts 17:30)
- 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)
- Through prayer, invite
Jesus into your life to become your personal lLord
and 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)
|
What to pray:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I
believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious
blood and died for my sin. I am willing to turn
from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my
heart and life as my personal Saviour.

"But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name:" (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)
If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour,
as a Christian you should:
- Read your 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 2:15)
"Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
(Psalms 119:105)
- Talk to God in prayer
every day.
"And all things,
whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall
receive." (Matthew 21:22)
"Be careful for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto
God." (Philippians 4:6)
- 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 ourselves together, as the manner of some
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)
- 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 every one that believeth; to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16) |
