God's Simple Plan of Salvation
1. Realize you are a sinner.
No matter where you are physically, everyone starts from the same place spiritually. All are sinners. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). Man comes short of heaven because of sin!
2. Realize there is a penalty for your sin.
Not only does sin keep you out of heaven, but it also condemns you to hell. “For the wages of sin is death . . .” (Romans 6:23). Sin brings both physical and spiritual death. “and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” (Revelation 20:14).
3. Realize Jesus paid the penalty.
Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection provided a way for you to go to heaven. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8). Since Jesus was the only One who could pay for our sin, he is the only Way to heaven.
4. Repent of your sin and receive Jesus as your Saviour.
The final part of Jesus’ directions is to repent and receive Him. “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Acts 20:21). In order to go to heaven you must accept Christ by calling on Him in prayer. He tells us in Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Follow Christ’s directions: acknowledge to Him in prayer that you are a sinner, ask Him to forgive you of your sins, save you and take you to heaven when you die. Settle your eternity now!
