GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION
1. Hear the Gospel of Christ
Romans 10:13-17, "'...Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!'" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, 'Lord, who has believed our report?' So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
2. Believe the Gospel
Mark 16:15-16, [Jesus] "said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.'"
3. Repent of your sins
Acts 17:30, "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent..."
2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
4. Confess Jesus as Lord
Romans 10:10, "...With the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Acts 8:36-37, "Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, 'See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?' Then Philip said, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' And he answered and said, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.'"
5. Be baptized in water for the remission of your sins
Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"
Acts 22:16, "And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord."
1 Peter 3:21, And this water [of Noah's flood] symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ..." (NIV)
6. Be faithful until death
Revelation 2:10, "...Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life."
