The Plan of God's Salvation

Salvation is God's plan, paid for by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary, and made real to individuals by the work of the Holy Spirit.

Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Conditions to Salvation
Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.
Luke 24:47, John 3:3, Romans 10:13-15, Ephesians 2:8, Titus 2:11, Titus 3:5-7

The Evidence of Salvation
The inward evidence of salvation is the direct witness of the Spirit.
Romans 8:16
The outward evidence to all men is a life of righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 4:24, Titus 2:12

A person enters in this plan by:

  • Recognizing a personal need for a savior

  • Believing on Jesus Christ as Lord

  • Confessing his/her sinfulness and seeking forgiveness from God

  • Trusting God to forgive all sins and give a new life spiritually.

A believer in Christ grows spiritually by:

  • Reading and studying God's word, the Bible,

  • Talking often with God through Prayer,

  • Joining a group of fellow believers who share the common goal of following Christ,

  • Expressing Love & Thankfulness to God by worshipping in a community of believers,

  • Receiving the gifts God has given to the church (pastors, teachers, etc.),

  • Sharing his/her gifts, talents and resources to help others in the church family, and

  • Telling others about Jesus and what He can do for them.

Have you decided to follow Christ?

You can pray a prayer like this to let God know of your desire to trust Him:
"Dear God, I know that you love me. I am sorry for my sins. I admit them to you and ask you to forgive me and wash me clean. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me and that I need Him to save me. Lord, come into my life today. Make me a new person. Give me a new start. I want to follow you from this moment on. Thank you for hearing me and for your forgiveness. In Jesus name, amen."
