Plan of Salvation
GOD LOVE YOU
GOD BECAME MAN TO DIE FOR LOVE TO YOU
Jesus
Christ is God’s ONLY provision for sin.
Through Him we can know and experience God’s love and plan
for our lives
He died in our place
“God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8)
God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates them.
Man is continually trying to reach God and the abundant life
through his own efforts, such as religion, philosophy, good
life.
He rose from the dead
“Christ died for our sins… He was buried… He was raised on
the third day, according to the Scriptures… He appeared to
Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more
than five hundred” (Corinthians 15:3-6)
He
is the only way
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the
way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but
through Me” (John 14:6)
God has bridged the
gulf which separates us from Him by sending Hi Son, Jesus
Christ, to die on the cross in our place.
BY GRACE I'M SAVED
We
must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as
Savior and Lord then we can know and experience God’s love
and plan for our lives
We must receive
Christ
“As many as received Him, to them He
gave the right to become children of God, even to those who
believe in His name” (John 1:12)
We receive
Christ through faith
“By grace you have been
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should
boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We receive Christ
by personal invitation
(Christ speaking)
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My
voice and opens the door, I will come in to Him” (Revelation
3:20)
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from
self and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive
our sins.
