Simple plan of salvation

“For god so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

God’s love has no limitations. He loves so much more than we can imagine. He loves everyone – not just some ones. Romans 5:8 tells us “but God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

” Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” this verse tells us that all people have sinned. We have fallen short of God’s intended purpose for us. God made us to know Him, to receive His love and to love Him in return. For love to be love, for God to be God, and for humans to be humans, God gave us a choice. We can choose to love ourselves and turn to our selfish pursuits. That is sin. In our sin we cannot know God and His love.

The result of sin is that we are lost… separated from God. Romans 6:23 “for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “for He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” Jesus arose from the grave to conquer sin and death for all who receive him as god’s free gift.

How can you receive god’s free gift of love and life? Romans 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
