IT IS NO SECRET

God's Plan of Salvation

Becoming a Christian is the most important decision
you will ever make in this life. This decision does not only determine
where you will spend eternity,
but it will determine every other aspect of your life also..



All, Have Sinned Against God
The Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
(Romans 3:23). The word sin means to miss a target by falling
short of that target. Sin is the failure of a person to
live the life which God has planned for him to live.
Everyone has sinned, it is universal.

The Price of Sin Is High
The Bible says, "the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23).
The person who lives without God in this life will pay
the awful price of an eternity separated from God.
The Bible calls this place of separation hell.
Hell was never meant to be the eternal home of mankind,
but God could not allow rebellious people to enter into heaven.
Heaven is the eternal dwelling of God's people,
and it is a place where God lives
in perfect harmony with His people.

God Loves us in Spite of Our Sin
The Bible says, "But God commendeth his love toward us,
in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8).

We now have the assurence,
That: Believing That Christ did die for our sins,
and that He did rise again on the third day,
We now have the choice between life and death.
The death of Jesus is the greatest demonstration of the love of God
for sinners. It is a great love for someone to die in place
of a loved one. But Jesus died for those in rebellion also.

Repent, Turn Toward God, and Have Your Sins Completely Taken Away
The Bible says, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord;" (Acts 3:19).
The word repent means to turn around
and go in a different direction.
It means a change of mind and life toward God.
If you are willing to turn to God, then God will restore you
to childhood purity. Jesus described this experience as the "new birth."
Your part is to confess your sin,
and God's part is to forgive and restore.

By Grace You Receive His Free Gift (Eternal Life)
Through Faith Which is Also from God

The Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:" (Ephesians 2:8).
The word grace refers to the kindness and love of God
in His willingness to forgive and save.
Faith means to trust to a point of commitment.
You cannot just believe in God.
You must be willing to give your life to God's
teachings and God's will. Salvation is God's gift
if you will receive it with a commitment
to turn and follow Jesus.

Confess Jesus, and Believe That He Was Raised from the Dead by God
The Bible says, "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).
The word confess means to acknowledge to God
that Jesus is Savior and Lord, to believe
with all your heart that Jesus died on the cross
for you and came out of the grave,
believe that He is alive and will change your life
as you follow and obey His teachings.

Pray to the Lord and Be Saved:
The Bible says, "For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13).
Whoever means anyone can ask God for forgiveness
of sin and turn from sin and follow Jesus.

Pray this simple prayer and mean it and you will be saved

"Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and need
Your forgiveness. I know You died on the cross for me.
I now turn from my sins and ask You to forgive me.
I invite You into my heart and life. I trust You
as Savior and will follow You as Lord.
Thank You for saving me. Amen."

Even though I may never know the decision
you make to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior,
God will know and deserves all the glory.
My email address is at the bottom of page if you choose
to inform me of your choice. I do care about you.
John 3:3 You must be Born Again.

This prayer of faith begins you on the greatest
journey one can ever make.
You need to contact a local Bible believing church
and tell them of your decision.
Acts:15:4: And when they were come to Jerusalem,
they were received of the church,
and of the apostles and elders,
and they declared all things that God had done
with them. Acts:20:28: Take heed therefore unto yourselves,
and to all the flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers,
to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased
with his own blood.

Church membership?
Do not let this be a stumbling block,
Just remember: Acts:2:47: Praising God,
and having favor with all the people.
And the Lord added to the church daily
such as should be saved.
