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 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)
