"The Plan of Salvation"
The greatest question in the Bible is this one, what will you do with “Jesus” who is called the “Christ? How do you find “Christ”? The first step in finding Christ is recognizing that you need him. You are a sinner, that you have violated the principles of truth of the Word of God.
The Bible says in Romans 3:23, “That all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God”.
I have sinned and you have sinned. And because we have sinned we must have the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse us from all our sin. Our morality cannot save us, our goodness cannot save us, and our acts of kindness to the poor cannot save us.
The Bible says we must confess our sins, for if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
"Immediately Satan will come and say you are not good enough." I want you to understand that God can save to the uttermost. It does not make any difference what you have done, He can save you. God loves you even though we are sinners.
The Bible says in Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His love for us, in that while we are still sinners, Christ died for us.” And God has made it possible through the gift of His Son for you to be saved. That provision is God’s gift.
The Bible says for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. For it is by Grace that you have been saved through faith.
You are reading this right now, perhaps because you are searching. It is through Grace you have been saved through faith, it is not of yourselves, and it is the gift of God not by works so that no one can boast.
As I said before, you cannot get to heaven by being good, giving to the poor, or doing acts of kindness. You only get to heaven because you confess your sins. There must be the repentance of sins which means to turn away from your sins.
The Bible says repent and believe the Good News. Repent means to turn away. Walk and go another way. It is a required action.
To believe and confess; means that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, and you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess your sins and are saved.
And you must be willing and ready to confess your sins to be saved. And the result is salvation.
For the Bible says “Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord, will be saved.” The Bible says salvation is found in no other name given unto man under heaven other then the name Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says who so ever call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
Don’t let Satan tell you that you are not worthy, you have sinned too deeply; if you want to find Christ, he is as close as a prayer. And I want you to pray this prayer.
“Lord Jesus Christ, I confess that I am a sinner, I ask you to forgive me of my sins, and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Come into my heart today and be the Lord of my life. I will serve you, I will obey you, I will read your word, and I will follow Christ from this day forward all the days of my life. Jesus, you are my Lord and my savior and I am your servant. Amen.
And with that simple prayer, you have stepped from darkness into light. You have now identified with the family of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your spiritual brothers and sisters are waiting to see you this Sunday morning, and I encourage you to go to a church this Sunday. Find a church where the preacher preaches from the Word of God. And go to a church where the preacher makes an altar call and gives all people an opportunity to be saved. That is where you are hearing the Gospel.
"God Bless you and congratulation on you new life in Christ".
