SALVATION
GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATIONS
If you are not saved or have questions about your salvation, you can be saved and absolutely sure about it right now! (Rom. 10:9, 13; 1 John 5:13).
God wants you to trust Christ as your Savior and He will help you to understand the Plan of Salvation. God tells us that we cannot understand the scriptures and teachings of the Holy Spirit until we are saved.
“The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
Remember that God says to us that everyone is a sinner, less perfect than God. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). The Virgin Mary; your pastor; the Pope; your mother; you and me-ALL ARE SINNERS! (Read Eccl. 7:20)
Now, since we are sinners, let us understand that all sin must be paid for and the result and penalty of sin is death- separation from God (Read Rom. 6:23), and no sin can enter into Heaven.
HOW THEN CAN YOU BE SAVED?
Nothing you can do can help you obtain the absolute perfection God requires for eternal life. “For by grace are you saved, through faith; and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.” Not of works, least any man should boast (Eph. 2:8,9)
So then, you see that even being a “GOOD” person: going to church, keeping God’s law, etc. does not save you. You must, through faith, believe Jesus as the Lord who psaid the price for you and your sins. Then you must ask Him to personally come into your life as LORD and MASTER.
