God’s Plan

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, take a minute to read this page.

It contains the simple, yet life-changing truths, that if personally applied, will change your life forever.

If you have already accepted Christ into your heart, ensure that you can explain what it means to know Him to someone who doesn't, and are able to walk them through the following steps:

 

       Man’s Problem – Separation

God created man in His own image and gave him abundant life. God gave him a will and freedom of choice.
Man chose to disobey God and make his own willful way. Man still makes this choice today. This results in separation from God.
The Bible says in Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Man tries to bridge his separation from God in many ways…   There is only

one solution to man’s problem…

      God’s Plan – Salvation

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
(Jesus said)..."I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly." (Full and meaningful life). John 10:10
"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36

“Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." John 14:6

When Jesus Christ died on the cross, He substituted for our sin and bridged the separation of man from God…

      He Lives Today

"...Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred...He appeared to James, then to all the apostles...He appeared to me also."

1 Corinthians 15:3-8

      To Receive God’s Plan

 

1. Admit your problem: being separated from God by sin. Recognize that you have sinned and need God’s solution.
2. Believe Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross.
3. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and He will give you salvation and guide your life.
4. Receive Him now as your personal Savior and Lord of your life.

 

In Romans 10:9 and 13, the Bible tells us "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved."
