GOD'S Plan of Salvation Part 1

With so much confusion in our world concerning religion and Christianity, I want to begin a study today and try to show ONLY what God's Word has to say on the subject of how a person goes from a lost state, to being saved from sin. Understand, too that man is never saved when man decides, but we come into a saved relationship when God says it is so. If The Holy Word of God is not your basis for Godly matters then this study will be of no effect to you. However, since His Word is what we will be judged by when He comes back, this is what all should rely on and not the greatest mind of any man or man-made organization this world offers. I will be using much Bible scripture in these lessons so have your Bible in hand as we proceed. So let's begin; Belief John 3:16 "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. Mark 1:14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. " Luke 8:50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed." John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 8:24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins." John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" 27 "Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world." Acts 16:29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his family were baptized. 34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God--he and his whole family. Belief is only the beginning, as in many areas of life today. Belief will cause a person to "move, act, respond in some way. We will continue with this study in a few days. Please feel free to leave a comment and tell me how these devotions have been a help or if you need further study in any area. God Bless...
