The Plan of Salvation

If you died tonight where would you go? Would you go to heaven? There is a way to be sure that you will be in Heaven. It's God's plan of salvation. It is a free gift from God and all you have to do is receive it:

God loves you and wants you to have eternal life. (John 3:16, 10:10)

You are a sinner in need of forgiveness. You are separated from God and will face his judgment. (Romans 3:23, 6:23, Hebrews 9:27)

God wants to forgive you and has shown His love for you by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for your sins. He paid our sin debt with His blood. (Romans 5:8, 1 Peter 3:18)

To be forgiven, you must repent and turn away from your sins. (Luke 13:5, Ephesians 2:8-9)

You must place your faith in Jesus. He is the ONLY way to receive forgiveness and inherit eternal life. (Acts 20:21, John 14:6)

You can receive Jesus through prayer. (Revelation 3:20, Romans 10:9-19)

It could be a simple prayer similar to this:

Dear Heavenly Father, I know I am a sinner and have displeased you in many ways. I believe you died on the cross to save me from my sins and were resurrected on the third day so that I may have eternal life. Will you please forgive me for my sins? I want to turn from my sins and ask you to come into my life as my Lord and personal Savior. From now on I will live a life pleasing to you. Thank you for your grace, love, and forgiveness. Amen!

If you have made this decision, go to church Sunday and make a public profession of faith in Christ and follow the Lord in believer's baptism and church membership.

This is the most important decision you'll ever make. It will decide where you will spend eternity. No one knows if they will be here tomorrow. If Jesus comes back tonight or if something happens to you and you die today and you have not trusted Jesus, it will be too late! It's very important that you trust Him NOW because you may never get another chance. Tomorrow may never come!
