God\u2019s Simple Plan Of Salvation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by \n Pastor Ford Porter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My Friend:<\/em> I am \n asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your \n sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.<\/strong> The question is:\n Are you saved?<\/strong> It is not a question of how good you are, nor \n if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will \n go to Heaven when you die?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be \n born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, \u201cYe must \n be born again.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to \n be born again<\/em> which means to be saved.<\/em> His plan is simple! You \n can be saved<\/strong> today. How? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, my friend, you must realize you \n are a sinner. \u201cFor all have sinned,<\/strong>\n and come short of the glory of God\u201d (Romans 3:23).\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because you are a sinner, you are \n condemned to death.<\/strong> \u201cFor the wages [payment<\/em>]\n of sin is death\u201d (Romans 6:23). This includes \n eternal separation from God in Hell.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c . . . it is appointed unto \n men once to die, but after this the judgment\u201d (Hebrews 9:27). \n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But God loved you so much He gave His \n only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. <\/strong>\n \u201c . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin<\/em>]\n to be sin for us<\/strong> . . . that we might be made the \n righteousness of God in Him\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:21). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus had to shed His blood and die.<\/strong>\n \u201cFor the life<\/strong> of the flesh is in \n the blood\u201d<\/strong> (Lev. 17:11). \u201c . . . without \n shedding of blood is no remission [pardon<\/em>]\u201d (Hebrews 9:22).\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c . . . God commendeth His love \n toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us\u201d<\/strong> \n (Romans 5:8). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we cannot understand how, God said\n my sins and your sins<\/strong> were laid upon Jesus and He \n died in our place.<\/strong> He became our substitute.<\/strong> It is \n true. God cannot lie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend, \u201cGod . . . \n commandeth all men everywhere to repent\u201d<\/strong> (Acts 17:30).\n This repentance<\/strong> is a change of mind that agrees with God that \n one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked \n Paul and Silas: \u201c . . . \u2018Sirs, what must I do to be \n saved?\u2019<\/strong> And they said, \u2018Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and \n thou shalt be saved . . . .\u2019 \u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply believe on Him as the one who bore \n your sin, died in your place,<\/strong> was buried, and whom God resurrected.\n His resurrection powerfully assures<\/strong> that the believer can \n claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut as many as received Him,\n to them gave He power<\/strong> to become the sons of God, even<\/em> \n to them that believe on His name\u201d (John 1:12). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor whosoever<\/strong> \n shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.\u201d<\/strong> \n (Romans 10:13). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whosoever<\/em><\/strong> includes you.\n Shall be saved<\/em><\/strong> means not maybe, nor can, but\n shall be saved.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, \n wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed:\n \u201cGod be merciful to me a sinner.\u201d Just pray: \n \u201cOh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He \n died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection \n were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness \n of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your \n merciful grace. Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just take God at His word<\/strong> and \n claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved.<\/strong> \n No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does \n the saving. All of it!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s simple plan of salvation is: You \n are a sinner.<\/strong> Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your \n place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your \n crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your \n sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You say, \u201cSurely, it cannot be that simple.\u201d Yes, \n that simple! It is scriptural. It is God\u2019s plan. My friend, believe on \n Jesus and receive Him as Savior today.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If His plan is not perfectly clear, read \n this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understand it.<\/strong> \n Your soul is worth more than all the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor what shall it profit a \n man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?\u201d <\/strong>\n (Mark 8:36). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure you are saved. If you lose your soul, you \n miss Heaven and lose all. Please! Let God save you this very moment.<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s power will save you, keep you \n saved, and enable you<\/strong> to live a victorious Christian life.\n \u201cThere hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to \n man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye \n are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may \n be able to bear it\u201d (1 Corinthians 10:13). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not trust your feelings. They change. \n Stand on God\u2019s promises. They never change.<\/strong> After you are saved, \n there are three things<\/strong> to practice daily for spiritual \n growth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
