His Plan of Salvation


My friend, if you don't already know Jesus Christ as your own personal Saviour, and know without a doubt that you have a home in Heaven with Him, then I'd like to share some Scripture with you that I think will help you better understand God's plan of salvation, and how simple it really is to become a Christian.




Romans 3:10 says "As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one."
What this means is that the Bible tells us NONE of us are "virtuous" or "holy"; that no one can claim innocence.

Romans 3:23 goes on to say "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
This verse says it clearly enough, that everyone, meaning ALL of us, have sinned. All people are sinners and are under God's judgement. And since none of us are "pure" and without sin, we often make mistakes in our lives that are not pleasing to God. But even as sinners, He STILL loved us, as this next verse tells us.

Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
God showed how great His love was (and is) for us, by sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us; even though we were sinners, even though we've failed Him. It doesn't matter what we've done, how bad we've been, He loved us THAT MUCH, to DIE for us. He died for you, for me, for everyone who has ever sinned -- which means everyone who has ever lived.

Romans 5:12 tells us "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
This verse takes us back to when Adam chose to disobey God, there in the Garden of Eden, and was then "separated" from God by spiritual death. And throughout time, since that first sin entered into the world, everyone who has ever lived has been a sinner, just like Adam. And that same "separation" from God still exists today (and will remain, throughout man's earthly existence) for all who are without Christ as their Saviour. God gave us the freedom of choice, an ability to choose whether or not to obey Him.

Romans 6:23 says "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
If we choose NOT to obey Him, the price, or deserved punishment, for our sin is death -- an eternal separation from God. But if we DO realize and accept His wonderful gift of salvation, being set free from our sin and imperfection, then His Word gives us the assurance that we CAN LIVE forever with Him. All we need to do is admit that we're a sinner, confess our sins to Him, and believe in Him in our hearts...

As Romans 10:9,10 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
If we admit to God that we're a sinner, and that we believe He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross, so that our sins could be forgiven, and that He raised Him frmo death, our confession is then made unto salvation.

Verse 11 then says "For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
Our whole life changes when we come to Him in faith. No longer shackled by the guilt of sin, we're free to serve Him, without the shame of our past sins holding us back. No matter what we've done, we have been acquitted; our sins forgiven, our lives MADE CLEAN, because of Jesus' shed blood.

And this next verse, Romans 10:13, says "For whosoever shall upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
It tells us that ANYONE, and EVERYONE, no matter who we are, where we're from, if we believe in Jesus, and call upon His name, we WILL BE SAVED.


This includes YOU. Are you ready right now to accept Jesus into your heart?
Would you allow me to pray with you?
