Salvation
God's Simple Plan of Salvation
God loves you and desires a personal relationship with you. The Bible shows us clearly how you can know for sure that you have eternal life.
1. We Are All Sinners
The Bible teaches that every person has sinned and falls short of God’s perfect standard.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” — Romans 3:23
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” — Romans 3:10
2. Sin's penalty is eternal separation from God in a place called Hell
Sin separates us from God, and its penalty is eternal death.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” — Romans 6:23
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” — Revelation 20:14
3. Jesus Paid the Price for You
God demonstrated His love by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8
"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” — Colossians 1:14
Jesus died, was buried, and rose again so that you could be forgiven and have eternal life.
4. Receive Christ by Faith
Salvation is not earned—it is a gift that must be received by faith.
“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
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” — Romans 10:13
Right now, you can place your trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour.
A Simple Prayer
Prayer is one way you can express your faith in Christ:
Dear Lord,
I know that I am a sinner, and I cannot save myself.
I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose again.
I ask You to forgive me and come into my life.
I am trusting You alone as my Saviour.
Thank You for saving me.
Amen.
