Salvation Plan
You might be wondering, "what's gonna happen to me when I die?" Well if you die and you have not accepted God's gift of salvation through the shed blood of his Son Jesus then you will go to hell. There is no place reserved for you in hell. if you die without accepting Jesus Christ, or you may call him Messiah, as your personal saviour then hell will enlarge itself just to accomodate you.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ or Messiah as your personal saviour and acknowledge the atoning work of his shed blood to wipe out your sins then you will be present with Jesus Christ/Messiaht in heaven. The Bible states, "absent from the body; present with the Lord." Jesus Christ is Lord.
You might be asking, "how do I know that Jesus even existed?" Well in the gospel of John chapter 20 we see the following:-
-
John 20:10 - Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene after his resurrection.
-
John 20:19 - Jesus appears to HIs disciples.
-
John 20: 27 - Jesus allowed Thomas to put his hands in the wound in Jesus' side.
-
John 21:1 - Jesus again appeared to His diciples by the Sea of Tiberias.
In a court of law all a prosecutor needs to convict the defendant is 2 credible eyewitnesses to testify against him/her and that is enough to concvict anyone of a crime. There are way more than 2 eyewitness es to Jesus' resurrection. Therefore, "Just Believe!"
There is no set way to get saved. Believe that you are a sinner. What is a sinner? A sinner does not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and also practices to do wrong & bad things. Believe that Jesus who is the only begotten son of God was the only perfect sacrifice for your sin. Believe that Jesus is God that became flesh so that he could identify with humans. Believe that he willingly sacrificed his life for you. Believe that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to be at the right hand of the Father God. Believe that he is at the right hand of the Father to be an advocate for all who get saved. Believe that his shed blood paid the price for you to be reconciled back to the Father God. Accept his gift of love at the cross. Tell Jesus that you are sorry for your many sins and you want to change. Ask Him to help you change from practicing sin. Invite Him into your heart to change you. Thank him for saving your soul and writing down your name in the Lambs Book of Life. You are now one of God's elect. You are born again. You are saved because of the finsihed work of Jesus at the cross of Calvary. Hallelujah.
Read Genesis chapters 1 & 2 & 3. Read the Gospel of John. Read the book of Romans. Then read from Matthew to Revelation. Then go to Genesis and start over. Read a little of the Old and the New Testament everyday or as much as is possible. enjoy your salvation. Talk to God he wants to hear from you. Listen to him speak back to you. In that still small voice of his.
