God’s Plan of Salvation

GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION

Do you know God’s plan of salvation?  There is only one way.

Jesus said in  John 14:6,  I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1. All are lost by nature 

• (Rom 3:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

• (Isa 53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

• (Joh 3:18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

• Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
  Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
  Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

2. All are condemned to death

• Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

•  Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

• John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

3. Christ died on the cross for sinners

• 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.

• Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

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

• Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

4. Salvation is all of God

• Psalms 27:1  The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

• 1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

• Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

5. He is not willing that you should perish

• Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel

• 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

• 2 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.

6. Repent and believe

• Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, . . .

• Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

• Romans 10:9-10 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

7. Accept Him now

• 2 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.)

• Hebrews 3:7-8 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

8. He will keep you forever

• Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

• 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

• John 10:28-29 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

Are you saved?  God’s plan is for all men everywhere to be saved.  He is no respector of persons.  He loves us all so much that He made a way for us to be with Him for eternity. Won’t you accept Him today?
