God's plan of salvation for all Mankind
Realize you are a sinner.
(Romans 3:10 NASB) as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
(Romans 3:23 NASB) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Repent of your sins.
(Matthew 4:17 NASB) From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
(Luke 13:3 NASB) "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."
Recognize (acknowledge and believe with all your heart) that Jesus died on the cross paying the price for your sin and that God raised Jesus alive from the grave.
(Romans 5:8 NASB) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 10:9-10 NASB) that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; {10} for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
Receive Jesus personally as Lord and Saviour.
(John 1:12 NASB) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
(Romans 6:23 NASB) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 10:13 NASB) for "WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Take God at His word and claim his promise for your salvation.
A prayer for Salvation
"Lord Jesus, I confess to you that I am a sinner. I believe that you died for my sin, and that God raised you from the dead. I ask you to forgive me and to save me from my sin right now. I by faith receive you, Jesus, as Lord and Saviour and in so doing, give you total control of my life. Thank you for saving me, and for giving me eternal life. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
First Steps of Obedience
1. Public Confession -- (Matthew 10:32-33 NASB) "Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. {33} "But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven."
2. Public Baptism -- (Acts 2:38,41 NASB) And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. {41} So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
