Plan of Salvation

1. All sinners must have FAITH in the Lord Jesus. We must have faith that he can save us. We must believe that we are lost and that Jesus died on the cross for us; that he died in our place. He took on our sins to bring us the possibility of redemption.
MARK 16:15, 16. JOHN 3:16, 36. ACTS 10:43, 16:31.

2. All sinners must REPENT of sin. Repentance means ‘to turn’ from sin and self in obedience to Jesus and His authority over our life.
LUKE 13:1 - 5. ACTS 2:38, 3:19, 26:20.

3. All sinners must CONFESS the name of Jesus publicly. Confession means to “say the same thing.” We say the same thing as Jesus says about Himself. By confession, we agree that Jesus is the only way out of our sin life and its guilt and shame.
MATTHEW 10:32 -33. MARK 8:38. ROMANS 10:9 - 10.

4. All sinners must be BAPTIZED BY IMMERSION in water for the forgiveness of sins and to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. At immersion, we become a member of the body of Christ. We are added to His church.
MATTHEW 28:19 -20. MARK 16:15 - 16. ACTS 2:38, 22:16.
I PETER 3:21.

5. All Christians must then WALK the new life of faith in Christ Jesus. We have the words of God, the Bible, and the indwelling Holy Spirit to help us in this walk.
ACTS 2:42. REVELATION 2:10.
