Plan of Salvation

Good works cannot save you.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should  boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must  do:

1. Admit you are a sinner.

"For all have sinned, and come  short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
"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:" (Romans 5:12)

"If we say that we have not sinned,  we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)

2. Be willing to turn from sin (repent).

Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)
"And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to 
  repent:" (Acts 17:30)

3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you, was buried, and rose from the dead.

"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." (John 3:16)
"But God commendeth his love toward us,  in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"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)

4. Through prayer, invite Jesus into your life to become your  personal Saviour.

"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;  and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)

"For  whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans  10:13)

What to pray:
Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness. I  believe that Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sin. I am  willing to turn from sin. I now invite Christ to come into my 
heart and life as  my personal Saviour.

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power  to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" (John  1:12)
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things  are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians  5:17)

If you have received Jesus Christ as your Saviour, as a Christian you should:

5.  Read your Bible every day to get to know Christ better.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Timothy 2:15)

"Thy  word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalms 119:105)

6. Talk to God in prayer every day.

"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." (Matthew  21:22)
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians  4:6)

7. Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with  other Christians  in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is the final  authority.

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the  name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew  28:19)
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16)

8. Tell others about Christ.

"And  he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every  creature."

(Mark 16:15)
"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to  glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not  the gospel!" (1 Corinthians 9:16)
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of  Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one 
that believeth;  to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
