God's Plan of Salvation
No more
graphics. No sounds. No videos, just God's Word
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul." Mark:8:36
No church, lodge or good works can save
you. Take God at His Word.
Claim His salvation by faith. Believe
and you shall be saved.
Below are a few of the questions that
are asked about Salvation and simple answers with the scriptures for
reference.
|
What is a Christian?
|
Simply put, a Christian is one who has accepted
God's simple plan of Salvation. This is not a matter of how good
a person you are, nor if you are the member of a church. You
must be saved. Are you saved?
|
|
What is Salvation?
|
Salvation is God's gift to bring the repentant sinner back to
Grace. John 3:7
says "You must be born again."
To be born again means to be saved.
|
|
Who must be saved?
|
First, you must realize that you are a sinner.
Romans 3:23
tells us "For all have sinned
and come short of the Glory of God" Because you are a
sinner, you are condemned to death.
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death" This
means eternal separation from God in a place called Hell.
Hebrews 9:27
"... it is appointed unto men once
to die, but after this the judgement"

God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear our sin and
die in our place. 2nd
Corinthians 5:21 "He
hath made Him (Jesus, who knew no sin) to be sin for us... that
we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."
|
|
What must I do to be saved?
|
First, "God.... commanded all men
everywhere to repent."
Acts 17:30 With this repentance
we come to agreement with God. We recognize our sin and realize
what Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross.
Then, in Acts
16:30-31 Paul and Silas are asked by the
Philippian jailer "...'Sirs, what must I do
to be saved?' And they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shall be saved... .' "
This means that we believe on Him as the one who carried
our sin, died in our place, was buried and who was resurrected
by God. That resurrection assures that when accepting Jesus as
our Savior the believer can claim everlasting life.
John 1:12
"But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become
the sons of God. even to them that believed on His name."
Romans 10:13
"For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved."
Whosever includes you. Shall be saved means
not maybe, nor can but shall be saved.

Sinners prayer
|
In Luke 18:13
the sinner prayed, "God be merciful
to me as a sinner."
Just pray "Oh God. I know that I am a sinner. I believe that
Jesus took my place, that He died on the Cross, that His shed
blood, death, burial and resurrection were for me. I now receive
Him as my Savior. I thank you, Lord, for the forgiveness of my
sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, through Your
merciful grace. Amen.

Give me a break, you say. It can't be that simple...
But it is! It is scriptural. It is God's plan.
Believe on Jesus and receive Him as your Savior today
God's power will save you, keep you saved and enable
you to live a victorious Christian life. Several things should be done
after you are saved. You must testify to all of your knowledge of Jesus
Christ. Practice three things daily, prayer, reading of God's Word and
witnessing.
You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus
as a public testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible
believing church.
