God's Plan Of Salvation
"HOW CAN I FIND MY WAY TO GOD?"
Some have sat in the church pews all their lives but have never come to personally know God, while others have sought for the ultimate meaning in all sorts of ways, but have never found the peace of mind for which they were searching. Then, there are others who simply realize that there is something vital missing in their lives, and despite their best efforts, are unable to remove the weight of guilt and sin that separates them from their Creator.
BUT GOD sent His Son to solve this dilemma once and for all. St. John 3:16 reads, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but shall have everlasting life!" Jesus Christ made the way to God for us by his death on the cross. He purchased our salvation by shedding His blood. His death and resurrection made a new and everlasting covenant between God and mankind.
JESUS told his disciples, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." No one comes to the Father except by Me. (St. John 14:6 )
Now the question you should ask is, "How Do I Get Into the Way?" It is simple. You get into the way by obeying the WORD OF GOD. It is our roadmap from earth to glory, the plan of salvation. In Acts 2:38, we find the plan of salvation written plainly. It reads, "Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." This is the key that God gave the Apostle Peter. Christ also promises that those who believe and turn to Him will have LIFE!
Everyone who receives Jesus Christ and believes in His name, has the right to become a child of God. But to be God's children, you must be born again.
​
"HAVE I BEEN BORN AGAIN?"
A similar question was asked many years ago by a leading member of the ruling counsel during Jesus's Day. His name was Nicodemus. He wanted to know "How can a man be born again...?" Jesus responded,"That flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." Nicodemus and all mankind after him must experience a spiritual birth in order to enter heaven. (St. John 3rd chapter) God has given us instructions in His Word to obtain this spiritual birth:
#1. Recognize the fact that we are sinners who have violated God's laws, and have fallen short of his glory.
#2. Repent of all sin. It was for our sins that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, laid down his life; then rose from the dead, proving that there is VICTORY over sin and death.
#3. Receive Jesus into your heart and life. Make Him your personal Savior and Lord.
#4. Be water-baptized in Jesus' Name and receive His Holy Spirit, which will dwell in you, leading and guiding in spirit and truth.
Now is the day of salvation, not tomorrow, not Sunday in church, but TODAY. Wherever you are, this moment is the time for you to receive this blessed salvation.
