“THE WAY BACK”

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?

---

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.

·       Man 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 this problem of separation from God.

·       

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

·        

Our 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 -A RECEIVE CHRIST AS PERSONAL SAVIOR

---

Each one of us must trust in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

and invite him into our Hearts Personally.

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.

·        

Is there any good reason why you cannot accept this offer?

What offer you may ask.

Make Jesus Christ your Own personal Lord and Savior?

Whose side are you on Man’s or God’s?

OK, what’s next?

1. Admit your need (I am a Sinner)
2. Be willing to turn from Sin (Repent)
3. Believe that Jesus Christ Died for you (On the Cross)
4. Through Prayer, accept and receive Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior

A Suggested Prayer of Commitment:

Dear Father God,
I know that I am a Sinner and need your Forgiveness.
I believe that your Son Jesus Christ Died in my Place, Paying the Penalty for all my Sins.
I am willing to turn away from Sin.
I now invite Jesus Christ to come into my Heart and Life as my own Personal Savior.
I am willing by your Help to follow and Obey Jesus Christ as the Lord of My Life! 

Amen

Psalm 21 (New International Version)

Psalm 21

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength. How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2 You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3 You welcomed him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him— length of days, for ever and ever.

5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken.

8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.

9 At the time of your appearing you will make them like a fiery furnace. In his wrath the LORD will swallow them up, and his fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from mankind.

11 Though they plot evil against you and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed;

12 for you will make them turn their backs when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might.

Psalm 19 (with text - press on more info.)

Psalm 19 (New International Version)

Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.

3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. [a]

4 Their voice [b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.

13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Put It your worries on Him.

1 Peter 5:1-11 (New International Version)

To Elders and Young Men

1To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed:2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.5Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

More Precious than gold - Acapella Company

They are more precious than gold 
Sweeter than the honey 
They are more precious than gold 
And the honey comb 
The laws of the Lord are perfect 
Reviving the soul, reviving the soul 
Reviving the soul 
They are more precious than gold 
Sweeter than the honey 
They are more precious than gold 
And the honey comb 
They make wise the simple 
They give joy to the heart 
Light to the eyes 
Enduring forever 
Righteous altogether 
They bring great reward 
The laws of the Lord are perfect 
Reviving the soul, reviving the soul 
Reviving the soul 
May the words of my mouth 
And the meditation of my heart 
Be pleasing in your sight 
O Lord my rock 
My rock and my redeemer 
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer 
The laws of the Lord are perfect 
Reviving the soul, reviving the soul 
Reviving the soul 
They are more precious than gold 
Sweeter than the honey 
They are more precious than gold 
And the honey comb

Psalm 18 (with text - press on more info.)

Psalm 18 (New International Version)

Psalm 18

For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

1 I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

5 The cords of the grave [b] coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry.

8 Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.

9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.

12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.

13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. [c]

14 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemies , great bolts of lightning and routed them.

15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of breath from your nostrils.

16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.

18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20 The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not done evil by turning from my God.

22 All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.

23 I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.

24 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26 to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

27 You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

28 You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.

29 With your help I can advance against a troop [d] ; with my God I can scale a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

31 For who is God besides the LORD ? And who is the Rock except our God?

32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.

34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.

36 You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.
