THE PLAN OF SALVATION:
1. The plan of salvation is simple yet very difficult for
many to grasp because: naturally in Adam men want to see, feel, hear or handle
something physically to believe its factuality. Salvation is by Grace through
Faith.
2. Many believe they
can or are required to work out their salvation by earthly means or good
doings.
3. Many believe
there are different ways or avenues one can come back to fellowship with God.
Life does not end at death; Eternity Begins: Life in
this present world is only a staging ground to make preparation for
eternity.
Choose today life or death for eternity?
Choose life Choose "Jesus Christ".
The Word teaches us:
Reference: (The
Word)
John 1:1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.
I. John1:1 That
which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our
eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of
life; ( The Word is Jesus Christ
the only begotten Son of God, in which one can have life through his
atoning blood.)
Our Scripture reference is taken form the Only True Word of
God the Authorized Version of 1611 King James Bible.
- 1. John 4:24 God is a Spirit and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.
- 2. Ephesians 2:8,9 2:8. For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God: 2:9. Not of works, lest any man should
boast.
- 3. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me.
The Word Lets us know that:
Romans 3:23. For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God; (We must
realize that we are all sinners in need of salvation.)
Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord. (Because we have sinned we are dead.)
Hebrews 9:27.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment: (We must repent and be born
again, to stand just in the eyes of God)
Acts:17:30.
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all
men every where to repent:
John 3:3,4,5,6,7,8. 3:3 Jesus answered and
said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a
man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his
mothers womb, and be born? 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be
born again. 3:8 The wind
bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not
tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of
the Spirit. (To be born again
one must believe)
Romans 10:8,9,10,11,12,13. 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh
thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith,
which we preach; 10:9 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. 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11 For
the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 10:12
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(Gods plan of
Salvation is simple; He gave his All, His Son Jesus that we might have All,
eternal life through His precious, cleansing, atoning, Blood)
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.
II. Corinthians
5:19. To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
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.
II. Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slack concerning his
promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Proverbs 3:5,6. 3 :5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy
paths.
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 time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Wait not; be Saved Today
James 4:14. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then
vanisheth away.
