Plan Of Salvation From God's Word

WHY EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE SAVED

"All we like sheep have gone astray: we have turned everyone to do our own thing." Isaiah 53:6
"As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truths are not with us" 1 John 1:18

WE DO NOT {CANNOT} SAVE OURSELVES

"Salvation belongs to the LORD" Psalm 3:8

"Salvation is of the LORD" Jonah 2:9

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and the renewing of the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5

" Jesus answered and said to him, Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselfs: it is the gift of God: Not of works, so that no man should
boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

SALVATION ALREADY PREPARED

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"And the Lord lay on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6

"And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this
Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.
Hebrews 10:11,12

"For I delivered to you first that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins in His according to the scriptures; And
was buried, and that He rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3,4

TRUST CHRIST TO SAVE YOU

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life."
John 3:16

"That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou
will be saved."
Romans 10:9

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out my hand. My Father, Who gave them to me, is greater than all, and there is no way to pluck
them from my Father's hand. I and my Father are one."
John 10:27-30


A DEFINITE DECISION NECESSARY


"Today if ye will hear his voice harden not your heart." Hebrews 3:15

"Behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation."
2nd Corinthians 6:2

THE FOLLY OF UNBELIEF

"He that doesn't believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the

name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18

"He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that doesn't believe on the son will not see life, but the wrath of God
abides on him."
John 3:36

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:15
The worlds limited understanding of God has resulted in the creation of many religions, denominations, and concepts of God. Regardless
of these obstacles, it is left to every human through history past, present, and future to decide if they accept or deny the one true, and
real, God and His perfect plan for life. God's word, the bible, has been unchanged since the first manuscript was written. God promises
that His Word will exist forever in the form of the bible. God has provided this plan, a personal victory on earth, to anyone who chooses to
accept Him. Worldly notions of spirituality, peace, and love are all too common and will continue to fall short. Consider yourself invited to
discover for yourself the truths that God has given freely. Only God's plan through Jesus can give you 'peace that passes all
understanding.'
