Behold I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." -
Revelation 3:20
The Bible gives us God's
plan for salvation. His plan is simple.
1. God loves you and has a plan for your life.
"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
2. We are
sinners. We have chosen to disobey God in many ways. "For all
have sinned and come short of the glory of God." - Romans
3:23 Men have attempted to get to
Heaven by doing good works, living moral lives, and being religious, but
there is nothing that we can do on our own to get into Heaven.
"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
3. Sin separates us from God.
"...Your iniquities have separated between you and
your God, and your sins have hid his face from you..." - Isaiah 59:2
Because we are sinners, we are condemned to death. "For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord." - Romans 6:23
4. Jesus died on the Cross and paid for all our sins,
bridging the gap that separates us from God. God's love is greater
than all our sin.
"But God
commendeth His love toward us, in that , while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us." - Romans 5:8
5. You must PERSONALLY receive Christ as your Lord and
Saviour. If you believe that He died for "YOUr" sins and rose in
victory over death, and ask Jesus Christ to take control of your life, you
SHALL be saved.
"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."
- Romans 10:9. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved." - Romans 10:13
If you realize you are a
sinner, repent, give your heart to God in prayer. Just
pray:
Dear Lord
Jesus, I know I am a sinner, I believe you died on the cross for my sins
and were resurrected in victory over death. Please forgive me of my
sins and take control of my life. I invite you to be my Lord and
Saviour and I accept your gift of eternal salvation by faith.
Amen.
After you are saved, trust
God's word, not your feelings. God's promises never change.
Daily you need to: Pray - you speak to God, Read your Bible - God speaks
to you, Witness - you speak to others about God.
