THE PLAN OF SALVATION
Death...Salvation.
Don't face the first without the last! Not only has God provided you with wonderful words in hte Bible to guide your life, to help you face temptation, and to exercise your leaderhip gift, but He has also provided you a fantastic gift. That gift is salvation. Jesus died for your sins in order that you might experience eternal life rather than eternal death.
Consider What the Bible Teaches
God Loves you.-John 3:16; 10:10
You are a sinner in need of forgiveness. The Holy Spirit makes you aware of your sin.-Romans 3:23; 6:23; Hebrews 9:27
God wants to forgive you.-Romans 5:8; 1Peter 3:18
You must turn away from your sins.-Luke 13:5; Ephesians 2:8-9
You must place your faith in God's Son, Jesus Christ.-Acts 20:21; John 14:6
You can recieve Jesus Christ through prayer.-Revelation 3:20
Through prayer, you can:
Admit to God that you are a sinner and that you are turning from your sins;
Believe in Jesus by thanking Him for dying on hte cross and rising from the dead for your sins;
Committ your life you Jesus by asking Him to come into your life as Your Savior and Lord. After you have recieived Jesus Christ into your life, tell a Christian friend and follow Christ in believer's baptism and church membership.
