Gods Plan for Salvation

“THE WAY BACK”

---

Step 1 to this Discovery is recognizing GOD'S DESIGN ABUNDANT LIFE 

---

God loves you just as you are there is no need to make and attempt to clean up you act. First of all He already knows everything you have done and Yes, He still loves you and desires that you experience Joy, Peace, and the abundant life. This life is in God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord!

The Bible Says.... in John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believth in him should not perish, But have Everlasting Life.

John 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

John 10:10
.....I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Sin keeps us from experiencing the Joy, Peace, and the Abundant Life that God has planned for us.  

What is sin you ask?

It is separation from God. Lets look in to it in step 2

---

Step 2 is Recognizing MAN'S PROBLEM - SEPARATION FROM GOD!

---

• God Created man in HIS own image and made him a free mortal agent.
• God didn't want robots worshiping him but gave them Freedom of Choice. 
• Man made the choice to disobey God. 
• Man's rebellion against God is called Sin. 
• Man then is a Sinner by Will and Freedom of Choice. 
• Men choose to disobey God and go his own Selfish ways! 
• Man still makes this Choice today. 
• This results in SEPARATION FROM GOD, in HELL FOREVER!

The Bible Says... in Romans 3:23

·       For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

Romans 6:23

·       For the wages of Sin is Death; But the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Man through the Years has tried to Bridge this Gap Without Success...

There is only one Solution to this Problem of Separation.

---

Step 3 is Recognizing GOD'S SOLUTION - THE CROSS!

---

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY SOLUTION

 to the problem "separation from God".

      

 When our Lord Jesus Christ suffered and Died on the Cross,
He paid the Penalty of Sin once and for all.

     

Your Sins are washed away never to be remembered again.

Jesus Bridged the Gap from GOD to man.

The Bible Says... in Romans 5:8

But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ Died for us.

Also in John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: No Man cometh unto the father, but by me.

Then in Ephesians 2:8,9

For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and it is not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

God has provided in Jesus Christ the ONLY way of salvation...

Man must make the choice to receive God's Solution. 

---

Step 4 is MAN'S RESPONSE - RECEIVE CHRIST AS PERSONAL SAVIOR or Not

---

We must make up our mind and decide 

Will we Trust in Jesus or not?

Each one of us must decide for our self, 

Do we have Faith and Trust in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?

If so then invite him into your Heart to stay 

and develop a Personal relationship with Him.

Here is how It's done.

The Bible Says... in Revelation 3:20
Behold I stand at the door and knock: If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in and Sup with him, and he with me.

In John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Father God,

I know that I have sinned and I need your Forgiveness.

I am willing to turn away from Sin.

I believe that your Son Jesus Christ was beaten, suffered, bled and died in my place, 

paying the Penalty, once and for all, for all my Sins - so I can be free to come boldly in to your presents. 

I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my Heart and Life and I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

I am now willing, with your Help Holy Spirit, to follow and Obey Jesus Christ as the Lord of My Life! 

Amen.
