The Plan Of Salvation ...
One of the most powerful tools to lead a person to Christ
is the plan of salvation which is contained in the
Bible. The first thing one needs to know before reading
these scriptures, is that the Bible is 100% truth. In
God's Living Word, you can find out what our future
is after death. There are two kinds of
people:
1) Believers
2) Non-Believers
In God's Word, individuals are either for Him or against Him.
If you are for Him that puts you into category number
1. If you are against Him you are in category
2. It is devastating to know that some consider
themselves to be Believers and in the end, God will
say I never knew you and they will end up in the place
called Hell. These are "Make Believers" thinking they are saved when they are category 2 (Non-Believers).
That is one place I pray that people
don't end up in because of their unbelief or their fake
walk with Him. There is only one way to God and that
is through the Salvation of Jesus Christ and the price
Jesus paid for our sins on the cross. We must believe
and accept Him as our Lord and Savior to get to Heaven
(the place God intended for all of us). Our free will
though, allows for some to end up in the place He intended
only for Satan and his host. Please read through the
following which is taken directly from the Book of Romans.
REALIZE YOU ARE A SINNER
Romans 3:32 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:10 - " . . . There is none righteous, no, not one."
THERE IS A PENALTY FOR SIN
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
CHRIST PAID THE PENALTY FOR YOUR SIN
Romans 5:6 - "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
I Corinthians 15:3 - ". . . Christ died for our sins . . ."
II Corinthians 5:21 - "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
I Peter 2:24 - "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."
RECOGNIZE THAT YOU MUST REPENT
Luke 13:3 - "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
Acts 3:19 - "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your signs may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."
Proverbs 28:13 - "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Acts 16:31 - "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
John 3:16 - "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 3:36 - "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
RECEIVE CHRIST
John 1:12 - "But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."
Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I willcome in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
II Corinthians 6:2 - "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted tie; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"
CONFESS CHRIST
Romans 10:9-11 - "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
If you want to be free from being a non-believer or a make-believer pray like this:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins
and paid for them all. Will You please forgive me of
all my sins and trespasses against You and against others
and make my heart new? I believe in You, Lord Jesus.
I believe You died and rose again. I invite You to come
into my heart right now. I accept You as my Lord and
my Savior. Please help me from now on to focus on You
and Your will for my life. Help me to walk in Your ways.
In Your Precious, Holy Name Jesus, I pray,
Amen.
If you prayed that prayer and mean it with all of your
heart you are now "Born Again" or "Saved"!
Congratulations!!!! The angels in heaven are rejoicing!
Now that you have eternal life as a gift from God, we
encourage you to start attending and fellowshipping
in a Bible believing/preaching church. Pray also to
your new loving Father Who is in Heaven by just simply
talking to Him daily and seeking His will out for your
life.
Again, Praise the Lord and Congratulations! Please make
sure to write down this very important date in your
life. This is your Spiritual Birthday the date you were
Born Again! In the future you will want to remember
this day always to celebrate each year.
