The A B C's of the Plan of Salvation

We believe that God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.  We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ graciously grants the free gift of an abundant and eternal life to everyone who:

 

Agrees with God about their sinful condition,

 

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 6:23 (NIV)

 

Believes that Jesus died for their sins and rose from the dead according to the Scriptures;

 

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.  By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you.  Otherwise, you have believed in vain.  For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance, that Christ died for your sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.  I Corinthians 15:1-4 (NIV)

 

Chooses to personally receive Christ as Savior and Lord by faith.

 

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.  John 1:12

 

Suggested prayer of commitment:

 

I agree I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness; I believe that Christ died in my place, paying the penalty for my sin; I am willing to turn from my sin; I now choose to invite the resurrected Jesus Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Savior; I am willing by god’s grace, to follow and obey Christ as the Lord of my life.  I pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
