                                                               God's Plan of Salvation

I. WITHOUT CHRIST MAN IS LOST:

      1. "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (ROMANS 3:23).

       2. "He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (JOHN 3:18)

       3. "He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (JOHN 3:36)

       4. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (ROMANS 5:12).

II. ALL MEN WITHOUT CHRIST ARE IN DANGER OF SIN'S PENALTY!

        1. "There is none righteous, no not one" (ROMANS 3:10).

        2. "The wages of sin is death", (ROMANS 6:23a).

        3. "But the unbelieving shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone", (REVELATION 21:8).

III. MAN LOST IN SIN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF!

        1. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast", (EPHESIANS 2:8-9).

IV. GOD HAS PROVIDED A WAY FOR MAN BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR US!

        1. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (JOHN 3:16).

        2. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (ROMANS 5:8).

V. MAN MUST BE BORN AGAIN SPIRITUALLY!

        1. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (JOHN3:3).

        2. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (II CORINTHIANS 5:17).

VI. WHAT MAN MUST DO TO HAVE THE NEW BIRTH AND BE SAVED!

       Repent:

      "Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish" (LUKE 13:3).

        Believe:

        "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" (ACTS 16:31).

        "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life" (JOHN 3:15).

VII. GOD'S INVITATION TO ALL MEN!

 "Behold, now is the accepted time; Behold now is the day of salvation" (II CORINTHIANS 6:2).

         Simply believe on Jesus Christ as the one who bore your sin on the cross, died in your place, was buried, and was raised from the grave for your justification.

         "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (ROMANS 10:13).

         Just call upon the Lord, realizing you are a sinner and ask Him to have mercy upon you and save you!

         Now is the time!    Today is the day!

        ASK GOD TO SAVE YOU TODAY!
