God's Plan of Salvation

 

1. God’s Plan—Peace and Life

 

God loves you and wants you to experience His peace and life.

 

The BIBLE says: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

​

2. Our Problem—Separation

 

Being at peace with God is not automatic, because by nature you are separated from God.

 

The BIBLE says: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

​

3. God’s Remedy—The Cross

 

God’s love bridges the gap of separation between God and you. When Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave, He paid the penalty for your sins.

 

The BIBLE says: "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 2:24).

​

4. Our Response—Receive Christ

 

You cross the bridge into God’s family when you receive Christ by personal invitation.

 

The BIBLE says: “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).

 

To receive Christ you need to do four things:

 

1. ADMIT your spiritual need. “I am a sinner.”

​

2. REPENT and be willing to turn from your sin.

​

3. BELIEVE that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross.

​

4. RECEIVE, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life.

 

CHRIST says, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).

​

The BIBLE says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

 

What to Pray

​

Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
