Plan of Salvation
What must you do to be saved? Its as simple as A-B-C.
-
You must first Admit that you are a sinner and you cannot save yourself. A sinner is someone who ignores God and desires to live their own way and, because of that, breaks God's commandments. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God."
-
Second, you must Believe that Jesus can save you from your sin and self. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall be not perish, but have everlasting life." The Bible also says, "By grace are you saved through faith, not by works lest any man should boast."
-
Lastly, you must Confess that you are a sinner,forsake your sin and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Romans 10:9 tells us how: "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
You may ask, "How do I do this?" The answer is simple, pray to the Lord with a confession from your heart similar to the prayer below.
"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and cannot save myself. I believe that You died to take the punishment my sin deserved, were buried, and rose again on the third day. I turn from my sin and surrender my life to You. Thank you for loving and saving me. Amen"
