KNOWING JESUS AND THE PLAN OF SALVATION
Jesus Christ is God’s unique Son; the only one of a kind. The Scripture teaches that He is God revealed in flesh. In His Divine nature He is truly God and in His human nature truly man.
 
He is the One once crucified for man’s sin, the now risen and glorified Savior and Lord who mediates between God and man and who gives us access to the Father through His intercession.
 
None can come to the Father unless they come through Him.
 
 

The Bible is God’s holy word are Scriptures written by holy men. They are, in both the Old and New Testaments, the very words God intended us to have. They are, as given by God, without error and are our only rule of faith and practice.
 
We profit from them by learning the truth about many things: they also speak to us about wrong doing; they even correct us and get us back on course as well as instructing us in right living.

 

 

What’s next: Realize that you are a sinner

“As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10)

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
 
 

There is a penalty for sin

“For the wages of sin is death. . .” (Romans 6:23a)

The word “death” means separation. The death referred to here means eternal separation from God in the lake of fire as stated in Revelation 21:8.

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8).
 
 

Acknowledge Christ paid the penalty of sin for you

“But God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

(Romans 5:8)

 

Understand Christ wants to give you eternal life in Heaven

 “. . .But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
 
 

Believe in Christ and ask Him to be your Savior

“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.” (Romans 10:9-10)

“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)
