Salvation - God's Plan for You
Salvation is God’s gift to all who will obey the gospel of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9). The Bible clearly outlines the steps we must take to be saved and to have the hope of eternal life in Heaven:
- HEAR the Gospel – Faith begins by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
- BELIEVE in Jesus Christ – Believe that He is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again (Mark 16:16; John 8:24).
- REPENT of Sins – Turn away from sin and turn to God in obedience (Acts 2:38; Acts 17:30).
- CONFESS Christ – Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 10:32).
- Be BAPTIZED – Be immersed in water for the remission of sins and to be added to the body of Christ (Acts 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21; Galatians 3:27).
After obeying the gospel, we are called to live faithfully—walking in the light, growing in grace, and remaining steadfast until death (1 John 1:7; 2 Peter 3:18; Revelation 2:10).
How do I get to Heaven?
By obeying the gospel of Christ and living a faithful life in accordance with God’s Word (Hebrews 5:9; Matthew 7:21).
Am I saved?
You are saved if you have obeyed God’s plan of salvation from the heart and are continuing to walk faithfully with Him (Romans 6:17-18; 2 Corinthians 13:5; 1 John 5:13).
