God's Plan of Salvation
We Have All Sinned.
Our Sin Deserves Eternal Death.
SIN HAS CREATED A BARRIER BETWEEN MAN AND GOD
We must understand and believe the consequences of being a sinner. The bible says:
For the wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23)

We Must Desire To Be Clean - We Must Repent.
There is a basic assumption in God's Plan - we must desire to enter Heaven! If we believe we have sin in our life
which keeps us out of God's presence, and if we truly desire to enter Heaven, we will desire to cleanse our life of
sin. This desire to turn from our sin is called repentance.
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, (Acts 3:19)
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. (2 Peter 3:9)

We Can Not Make Ourselves Clean.
There is only one way to be made clean - that process is called Salvation. Salvation is a gift from God, freely given
to all who ask - it can never be earned!
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)
Grace means "unmerited favor". It means we are granted favor when we have done nothing to deserve such
favor. We cannot rid our life of sin and all our "goodness" cannot bring us one step closer to Heaven.

Jesus Christ is The Sacrifice
Which Makes Us Clean.
Which Makes Us Clean.
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)
This verse is probably the most recognized verse in the whole Bible. But the all important phrase, "believes in
Him", is not made very clear. Our sin can only be forgiven through a proper sacrifice. Jesus Christ died and rose
again in order to be the sacrifice for those who will believe.
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;. (Romans 3:25)
God loved us and gave us His Son even though we did nothing to deserve His love.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:8)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(John 14:6)
Receive Jesus Christ As Savior.
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)
If you truly understand and believe, I urge you to ask Jesus into your life - do not delay!
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. (Hebrews 3:15).
Tell Him you believe in His sacrifice as complete forgiveness for your sins and ask Him to be your Savior. If you
have come this far, do not let another moment go by!! There’s no special prayer required. Simply tell Him you
believe and ask Him to save you. Pray a prayer something like this:
Dear God, I know that I am a sinner who deserves an eternal death. I desire to turn from my sin, but I know that on
my own, I can never achieve a sinless life. Left on my own I will be forever separated from You. I believe that
Jesus Christ died and rose again as an eternal sacrifice for my sin. I accept the gift of Jesus and ask Him into my
life as my Savior. Amen.
If this was prayed with a sincere heart, you are from this very moment, His Child. You have been "born again"
(John 3:3), made a "new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17), and will one day enter into the Kingdom of God (Heaven).
If you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will want to begin your new life. You will want to know how to walk
with Him, talk with Him, worship Him, and learn how to have His peace in your life. This isn't a requirement for
Salvation. But a true understanding of the gift of Salvation naturally leads to a desire to fellowship and walk closer
with your Savior. It leads to a heart of thanksgiving and a desire to praise Him. I encourage you to begin your
Christian walk today!
Always remember that Salvation is based on Jesus plus nothing! However, now begins the process of living a life
which brings God glory and honor - a life that is holy and pleasing to God - a life of being His disciple.
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16
A good beginning point is to find other believers to fellowship with. A good group of believers is usually found in a
Bible believing, Salvation preaching church. The Bible tells of the importance of fellowship:
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 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 10:24-25)
One of the first commandments we are given as believers is to be baptized. Jesus directed this in what is called
The Great Commission.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:19-20)
Baptism and obedience to His commands begins the process of discipleship: "Make disciples of all nations."
Baptism is an outward sign of our inward change and commitment. If you have found a good church, they should
be more than happy to talk with you about baptism.
Next, begin to talk to God in prayer. All God really desires is for us to talk with Him on a regular basis. Set aside
some time which is quiet and free of distractions. You don't need to speak out loud but you may if you wish. Thank
God for who He is and for what He's done - and for what He's going to do in your life. Ask Him to set your life in
order and to give you direction and the strength to live a life which pleases Him. Then talk with Him about anything
else which is on your heart.
Finally, begin to learn about God through the study of His Word (the Bible). I strongly recommend a consistent daily
reading plan. Begin by reading the Book of John and then the Book of Acts. We also offer a systematic plan which
takes you through the entire Bible in a year (Daily Reading Plan). Whatever plan you develop, work toward
consistent daily reading. You will be rewarded with wonderful insights into God's plan and will truly learn to love
His Word. .

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

God created ALL things. He created Adam and Eve to have fellowship with Him. Adam's sin in the Garden of Eden
caused all future generations to be born with sin. This means we are born with a sin nature which causes us to
think, feel, and act in a manner outside of God's perfect plan. This sin results in us being separated from God.
The bible says:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)
We can not go any further until we come to terms with this first step - we are ALL sinners. No matter how good we
think we are, we must see our life as falling short of the perfection required by God. No one is "good enough" to go
to Heaven.
