PLAN OF SALVATION
JOHN 3 : 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that who so ever believes in him shall not perish / never die but have everlasting life. Gods plan for salvation is for every one and there is no sin that God will not forgive. The unpardonable sin can only be committed by those who know God and are doing Gods work not ordinary people. Our physical body will die one day. Then what is it that will not perish ? 1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 23 says we are made up of spirit , soul and body. For our body to have life our spirit and our soul has to be in our body. Every child born in this world has a spirit in him that is in a dead state or in a state of coma due to sin that is passed down the generations. For effective communication with God this spirit in a person has to be reborn or made to come alive. The persons soul is where decisions are made. A persons ability , memory , feelings , knowledge etc is in the soul. It's the soul that directs our body to do harm or to do good. It is the soul that sins. EZEKIEL 18 : 4 says the soul who sins shall die. So even though everyone's body dies a physical death , the soul also has a death. What is the death of the soul ? The soul goes to a horrible place of unrest called Hell , Hades , the bottomless pit etc and waits for the judgement day. At this time the soul is cast into the lake of fire to be tormented for ever. The persons spirit goes back to God who gave it. ECCLESSIASTES 12 : 7 .The choice is yours and the decision is yours to make. Do you want Gods salvation or eternal damnation ?
ROMANS 3: 23 There is no difference for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin keeps blessings away from us and we cannot clearly hear from God. All human beings immaterial of their back ground need salvation. Christianity is not a birth right . Christianity is a choice a person has to make on their own at some point of their life. Gospel of John 1 : 12 & 13 .A choice to accept Jesus Christ as ones personnel savior ensures us (our soul) a place in heaven if we continue to believe until the end. There is only one way to God and only one intercessor / mediator between man & God.- Jesus Christ 1 TIMOTHY 2:5 & JOHN 14 : 6
Sin is one of the most unpopular words to day and no one likes to preach about it. Every human being has sinned. Sin withholds Gods blessing from us and leads to eternal condemnation. God has made a way through His Son Jesus for mankind to have eternal life . He sent His son to this earth in human flesh so that Jesus could take the sins of the world on the cross. 2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21 For God made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Jesus needed a temporary visa to enter the place of condemnation or hell and Hades so that He could pay the price for sin . When Jesus died on the cross His spirit went back to God the father. His soul went to the pit, hell or Hades . But unlike others Jesus soul could not be kept in this place because it was not Jesus own sin. ACTS 2 : 22 to 31. Jesus soul was brought out and was reunited with His spirit and body to be resurrected from the grave. ROMANS 6: 23 - For the wages (result) of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The choice is yours and yours alone. No one can force you .
To obtain salvation or eternal life we need to first confess our sins out aloud to Jesus Christ. 1 John 1 : 7 to 10 . ISAIAH 55 : 6 & 7 . Then we have to speak with our mouth and believe in our hearts ROMANS 10 : 9 & 10. An audible confession and prayer is what pleases God . PROVERBS 18 : 21. When you do this your spirit will be born again and your soul will be saved. PROVERBS 14 : 25 . When your body dies a physical death your spirit will go back to God who gave it and your soul will go to a good place of rest called heaven or paradise or under the altar of God. There your soul will wait for the judgement day which will take place after the present heaven and earth are destroyed by God. If your name is found in the book of life then you will proceed to the new heaven and new earth. REVELATION 20 : 10 to 15.
PRAYER of SALVATION to be said out aloud and not in the mind.
God , I (use your name) am a sinner. Heavenly Father I need eternal life and salvation. I confess my sins to you today and ask you to wash them away by the blood of your son Jesus Christ. God please set me free. Please forgive me all my sins. Father God I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that you sent your only begotten son Jesus Christ to this earth in a human body by being born to the virgin Mary. He was crucified on the cross and the sins of the world were placed on Him. My sins were placed on Jesus .Jesus died . His spirit returned to You, His soul went down to Hades to pay the price of sin and His body was laid in the grave. Hades could not hold on to the soul of Jesus as it was not His own sin. Jesus is now risen body ,soul and spirit and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus please become my personal savior . I invite you, Jesus to come into my heart and make me a new person in You . Please lead me and guide me and be my friend. Please teach me the bible so that I may walk in a way pleasing to You and to God . Amen
If you are born again at say age 18 or 30 or 60 your body will be physically as old as you are. Your sins will be washed by the blood of Jesus. There was a veil which was covering your hearts and minds . This prevented you from understanding the bible clearly. This veil will be removed or taken away when you turn to Jesus Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 3: 14 to 17 . Now as you read the bible the entrance of Gods words will give light and understanding. .The Holy Spirit will be sent by God as a deposit to reside in you. Your spirit will be born again and your spirit will be about the age of a new born child. But your soul has been used to doing things its own way for so many years . It has been often guiding your body to do things which are not pleasing to God. So there will be a struggle within you , a kind of tug a war as your spirit will want to please God but your soul will want to please itself. It is necessary for your spirit to win and for this you have to feed it. Just like the human body requires physical food for nourishment and growth ; your spirit needs to be fed Gods word and needs to become strong. We suggest you read the four gospels as many times as you can to lay your foundation right before proceeding with the other books of the new testament and the old testament. Pray asking God to teach you His book and email us if you want clarifications. Your soul has to be subdued and made weak. This can be achieved by regular fasting and prayer. Remember to drink plenty of water while fasting and try to stay indoors if possible .If you are on medication kindly consult a doctor and get his / her approval before you start fasting .
