Plan of Salvation
What do you understand it takes for a person to go to Heaven?
Consider how the Bible answers this question: It's a matter of FAITH.
F - is for FORGIVENESS
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God's forgiveness.
Read Ephesians 1:7
A - is for AVAILABLE
Forgiveness is available. It is -
- Available for ALL..
- But not automatic.
Read John 3:16
Read Matthew 7:21
I - is for IMPOSSIBLE
It is impossible for God to allow sin into Heaven.
- Because of who He is: God is loving and just. His judgement is against sin.
- Because of who we are: Every person is a sinner.
But how can a sinful person enter heaven, when God allows no sin?
Read James 2:13
Read Romans 3:23
T - is for TURN
Turn means to repent.
- Turn from something - sin and self.
- Turn to Someone; trust Christ only.
Read Luke 13:3
Read Romans 10:9
H - is for HEAVEN
Heaven is eternal life.
- Here
- Hereafter
Read John 10:10
Read John 14:3
How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven and eternal life, and Jesus as personal Saviour and Lord? By trusting in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. Take the step of faith described by another meaning of FAITH:
Forsaking All I Trust HIm.
