God's Plan of Salvation
the why
In God's plan of salvation we must first understand why we need Jesus and why we need to be saved. We need to be saved because we have sinned. The Bible declares that everyone has sinned. Romans 3:23 1 John 1:8
Sin is rebellion against God. We all choose to actively do things that are wrong. Sin harms others, damages us, and most importantly dishonors God. The Bible teaches that because God is holy and just He cannot allow sin to go unpunished. The punishment for sin is death and eternally separation from God. Romans 6:23 Revelation 20:11-15
Without God's plan of salvation eternal death is the destiny of every human being.
THE what
In God's plan of salvation we must next understand God. God Himself is the only one who can provide our salvation. We are totally unable to save ourselves because of our sin and its consequences. God became a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ. John 1:1 John 1:14 Jesus lived a sinless life. 1 John 3:5 Jesus offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice for our sin. 1 Corinthians 15:3 Since Jesus is God, His death was of infinite and eternal value. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross fully paid the penalty of sin for the entire world. 1 John 2:2
His resurrection from the dead demonstrated that His sacrifice was sufficient and that salvation is now available through Him.
The how
A man once asked the Apostle Paul how someone can be saved. Paul's answer was, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household". Acts 16:31 The way to follow God's plan of salvation is to believe. Faith is the only requirement. Ephesians 2:8-9 God has provided for our salvation through Jesus Christ. All we must do is receive God's gift of salvation, by faith, fully trusting in Jesus alone as Savior. John 14:6
That is God's plan of salvation
will you receive it?
If you are ready to follow God's plan of salvation, place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior. Turn away from embracing sin and turn toward Jesus. Fully trust in the sacrifice of Jesus as the perfect and complete payment for your sins. If you do this, God's Word promises that you will be saved, your sins will be forgiven, and you will spend eternity in Heaven with Him. Romans 10:9-10
