God's Plan of Salvation 8/24th

God’s plan of salvation – not man’s, not religion’s, it is God’s and there is no other plan that can save a lost soul and make that one a child of God. Acts 4:12

God’s way is a Person, and that Person is His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. John 14:6

God’s salvation is threefold: First Christ appeared on this earth to save you from the penalty of sin, by putting away your sin by the sacrifice of Himself on the cross. Heb. 9:26 Second, He appeared in heaven, in the presence of God, after His resurrection, to save you from the power of sin. Heb. 9:24 I John 2:1-2 Third, He will appear again on this earth, the second time as “Lord of Lords and King of Kings” to save you from the very presence of sin. Heb. 9:28 This is complete salvation and it is yours by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord.

TO EVERY PERSON:
1. It is a fact that God loves you. (John 3:16)
2. It is a fact that you are a sinner Romans 3:23
3. It is a fact that you are now dead in sin Romans 6:23
4. It is a fact that Christ died for you Romans 6:6-8
5. It is a fact that you can be saved by faith in the Lord Acts 16:30-31
6. It is a fact that you can be saved and KNOW it. I John 5:10-13
7. IT IS A FACT THAT GOD SAVED YOU and He desires that you OBEY!

Acts 5:29 IF WE LOVE HIM, WE WILL BE OBEDIENT! Once you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, you belong to Him. He is your Lord and Master, and “no man can serve two masters.” Matt. 6:24. Determine now to obey His Word in all things.

After Salvation, each born again should:
1. Unite with a New Testament church. Acts 2:47
2. Follow Him in the ordinance of baptism. Acts 2:41. Baptism does not save, it is a public identity of your faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. It is an outward picture of your inner experience. Romans 6:4
3. Join a S. S. Class and study the Word with God’s children II Tim. 2:15.
4. Attend the worship services of your church Heb. 10:25. You need the preaching of God’s Word and Christian fellowship.
5. Be a faithful steward I Cor. 4:2 Moreover, it is [essentially] required of stewards that a man should be found faithful – proving himself worthy of trust. All that you are and have belong to God. “You are not your own. For you are bought with a price…” I Cor. 6:19-20. As a faithful steward, you will pay God His tithe. Mal 3:10. The tithe is 1/10th of your income and it is the Lord’s. And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. Lev. 27:30
6. Make time with the Lord every day to pray and read God’s Word, that you may grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
