God's simple plan of salvation

God’s word says:


 ALL HAVE SINNED


We are all sinners but God is perfect:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God


Our sins have separated us from God but HE has a plan:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


We can not get to heaven by being good or doing good deeds:
Ephesians 2:8-9 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.


JESUS CHRIST PAID OUR DEBT OF SIN


Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.


WE MUST BELIEVE


Jesus, God’s only son, died on the cross to take the punishment for our sin; and after three days rose from the grave and is now at the right hand of God.
John 3:16 For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


WHAT MUST YOU DO TO BE SAVED?

  1. BELIEVE that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for your sin.
  2. ASK JESUS to save you from your sin.  When you believe on Jesus as your Savior, God forgives your sin.


Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.


Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it.  Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty.  Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.  If you will humbly ask Christ to forgive you and to save you from your sins, He will!  He offers a free gift of forgiveness and eternal life to all who will ask.  Turn to Him today!


Pray like this:  “Dear God, I believe by faith that Jesus, your Son, died on the cross to be my Savior.  I believe he arose from the grave to live as my Lord.  I turn from my sin.  I ask You, Lord Jesus, to forgive my sin and come into my heart.  I trust you as my Savior and receive you as my Lord.  Thank you, Jesus for saving me.”


If you have prayed today and accepted Christ as your personal Savior, we’d love to rejoice with you.  Please call the office or send us an email to share this wonderful news.
