Plan of Salvation

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23

Plan of Salvation 

Your heart tends to run from God and rebel against Him. The Bible calls this "sin".
Yet, GOD LOVES YOU and wants to save you from sin, to offer you a new life of hope.  John 10:10 says, "I have come that you may have life, and have it to the fullest."
To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through HIs son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were sinners, Christ died for us."
You receive this gift by faith alone. Ephesians 2:8 says. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift if God--not by works, so that no one can boast."
Faith is a decision of your heart demonstrated by the actions of your life.  Romans 10:9 says, "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved,"
If you are choosing right now to believe Jesus died for your sins and to receive new life through Him, pray a prayer similar to this to thank Him for your new life"
"Dear God, I know I am a sinner.  I believe Jesus died to forgive me of my sins.  I now accept your offer of eternal life.  Thank you for forgiving me of all my sin.  Thank you for my new life.  From this day forward, I will choose to follow you."

God

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.  God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Revelation

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Mankind

Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.

The Fall

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ressurection

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
