HE PLAN OF SALVATION
GOD LOVES YOU
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16 (NIV)
YOU ARE A SINNER
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:32 (NIV)
YOU ARE NOW DEAD TO SIN
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23 (NIV)
CHRIST DIED FOR YOU
"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless,
Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a
righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare
to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:6-8 (NIV)
YOU CAN BE SAVED BY FAITH IN JESUS
"He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved?
you and your household."
Acts 16:30-31 (NIV)
YOU ARE NOW A CHILD OF GOD
"All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don't believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don't believe what God has testified about his Son. And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God's Son does not have life.
1 John 5:10-13 (New Living Translation)
