Plan of Salvation: Rebirth
is the Answer to Life’s Most Important Question
Plan of Salvation -- We think life’s most important question is “Are you
going to heaven when you die?” It is not a question of how good you are,
whether you go to church, or how much money you give to charity. God says, in
order to go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3).
Plan of Salvation: How can
we be Born Again?
The plan of salvation is right in the Bible. God gives us His clear plan for
being “born again.”
First, we must acknowledge God as the Creator of everything, and accept our
humble position in God's creation. "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive
glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they
exist and were created." (Revelation 4:11).
Next, we must realize that we are sinners. “For all have sinned, and fall
short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Because we are sinners, we are condemned to death. “For the wages of sin is
death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God.
But God loved each of us so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to
bear our sin and die in our place. “God demonstrates His love toward us, in
that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Although
we cannot understand how, God said our sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in
our place. Jesus became our substitute.
In the Bible, a jailer asked his prisoners, Paul and Silas: “’Sirs, what
must I do to be saved?’ So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
you will be saved.’” (Acts 16:30-31).
It’s very clear in the Bible, believe in Jesus as the one who bore your sins,
died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. It’s Christ’s
blood and resurrection that assures us of everlasting life when we call on Him
as our Lord and Savior. "For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be
saved." (Romans 10:13). “Whosoever” includes each and every one of us.
Therefore, if you understand that you are a sinner, and you believe that Jesus
Christ came as the one and only Redeemer of sin, then you understand the plan of
salvation. The question is – are you ready to implement the plan, by receiving
God’s gift of His Son, Jesus Christ? If so, believe in Christ, repent of your
sins, and commit the rest of your life to Him as Lord:
"Repent, and let every one of you
be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
If you decided to receive Jesus today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to
grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.
| Baptized as commanded by Christ. | |
| Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ. | |
| Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible. | |
| Seek fellowship with other followers of Jesus. Develop a group of believing friends to answer your questions and support you. | |
| Find a local church where you can worship God. |
