God’s Plan & Salvation.

God tells us that "All men have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God". God also tell us that “the wages of sin is death.”

If this is the case what then what must I do to be saved?

Hear

An individual must first hear the gospel before they can respond...

Romans 10:17 So then faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Matthew 17:5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

Luke 8:18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."

Believe

Having heard the message, it must be believed...

John 8:24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."

Romans 10:10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Repent

Believing the message of Christ, we turn toward a new life...

Luke 13:3-5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them--do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.

2 Cor. 7:10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

Confess

We confess our belief in Jesus Christ as the one who saves us...

Matthew 10:32 "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven".

Romans 10:9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Be Baptized

Having confessed our faith in Christ we join in His death, burial, and resurrection...

Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
