God's Plan of Salvation
Dear friend, your salvation is the most important possession you will have in your life.
Jesus wants to give it to you.
  Read the following seriously...

How To Go To Heaven For Sure?


Admit You And I Are Sinners

(1) Notice Romans 3:10, God said, "...There is none righteous, no, not one."
(2) It only takes one sin for us to commit to make us unrighteous.
(3) You and I know that we have committed many sins throughout our life.
(4) Our lies, lust, greed, hatred, adulteries, adding to God's Word, etc.,
tell us that we are truly sinners. Aren't we?
(5) Look, Romans 3:10 again, God said there is none righteous, and that put you
and me on the same situation - both of us are not righteous before God.
(6) Notice Romans 3:23, God said, "For all have sinned..." and that put us on
the same boat also, because "all" includes your and me for
we all have sinned, haven't we?
(7) He said thou shall not commit sin, but we all did, and to think about it,
we offended God because of our sins, didn't we?
(8) Suppose I slap someone on the face, and curse him right now. I will
offend him, would I not? Sure! I would.
(9) Likewise, because of our sins, we have offended and slapped God on the face.
(10) Would you admit that you and I are sinners and offended God by our sins?

 Agree that we deserved to be punished for our sins.

(1) Notice Romans 6:23a, "For the wages of sin is death..." 
(2) God said there is only one payment or wages for sin and that is death in hell.
(3) If you and I will pay for our sins, we will have to die in hell and be separated
from God forever, for death means separation.
(4) Do you realize that there is only one penalty for sin, death and death alone,
and we cannot change it?
(5) Suppose a man committed a murder. The man admitted his crime and pleaded guilty.
Suppose the penalty is life in prison. However, he said, "Look judge, I have done
so many good things in my life." The judge will say, "The good things you have
done cannot pay for your crime, the penalty is life in prison, and that is the
penalty you need to pay.
(6) Likewise, the wages of sin is death alone; and so if we will pay our sins with good
works we will change the payment for sin and that is not acceptable unto God.
(7) Notice 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, "God said that He would take vengeance to all that
disobey the gospel of the Lord Jesus, and He will punish them with everlasting
destruction in flaming fire of hell.
(8) The gospel of Jesus teaches us that we must believe in Christ and in Christ alone
for our salvation as He said in the book of Acts 16:30-31, but we added other things
on God's plan of salvation, such as religion, baptism, good works, church
membership, or speaking in tongues, etc.
(9) God is saying here, "You have offended me and disobeyed my gospel, for you have
either ignored it, subtracted from it, changed it, or added more into it.
(10) You and I therefore are guilty of disobedience to the gospel. For we say in our heart
like this, "I will trust Jesus plus my religion, plus my baptism, plus my good works,
plus my feelings, and so on;" and we've disobeyed the gospel of Jesus
 and committed many sins; haven't we?
(11) We therefore deserved to be punished, and though it is painful, we cannot
deny our guilt, and we must agree on it.
(12) Supposed that I drove through a red light and I got a ticked from the mail
with my picture on it. The payment is $750.00. Do I deserve the penalty?
Yes, I do. Do I want to pay it? Maybe I don't, but I deserved it, and I
have to agree on that penalty, or else it will get worse. The truth of being
penalized hurts; oh, it hurts, but we have to agree on it, don't we?
(13) Since we admitted we have sinned, and we could only pay our sins with death,
we have to realize we have become helpless.
(14) Unfortunately, we have to realize that we cannot save ourselves by our
religion, baptism, good works, or penance.
(15) Would you agree that you and I couldn't save ourselves on our own,
and deserved to be punished for our own sins?

      

 Acknowledge that Jesus paid all our sins in full.

(1) I have a good news for you, and look at Romans 5:8. It says, "But God commended His love
toward us, in that, while we yet sinners, Christ died for us."
(2) Now, God knows that we deserved to be punished in hell, but He loves us so much that
He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us, instead.
(3) Why did Jesus die on the cross? He paid our penalty of death. He chose to die, so
He could pay the penalty for our sins.
(4) Jesus did not deserve to die on the cross because He had no sin, but He
loved us, and offered Himself for us.
                  (5) Notice 1Peter 2:24, God said, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, 
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
(6) Jesus took our sins, made Himself as our Substitute, and shed His own blood
on the cross to cleanse us from all our sins.
(7) You see Jesus did not give us religions but Himself, and to add more,
it creates confusion and more religions in this world.
(8) Suppose I owed $10,000 from the bank, and the bank is going to put me in jail
if I would not pay my debt in few days.  Suppose my dad sold his only car for
$10,000 and paid my debt. Would the bank be satisfied? Of course! However,
I did not suffer the loss. My dad suffered the loss. Do I need to add more to it?
No! The monetary debt is paid in full.
(9) Similarly, Jesus has paid our sin debt penalty in full, past, present, and future.
He completed the work of salvation at Calvary already. We do not need
to add our human religion or good works anymore to His finished
work for our salvation. Just believe it! Thank God!
(10) Now the gospel teaches us that when we believe and acknowledge that Jesus
paid our sins in full without us adding into it, we have the
necessary saving "Faith in Jesus."
(11) We have to trust His Sacrificial death on the cross as the
full payment for our sins.
(12) Would you believe and acknowledge that Jesus suffered for all your sins, and
for mine; that through His death on the cross, He has saved us and made us free?
Note: Now, can you say from your heart right at this moment these words,
"Now I believed, Now I am saved."  Amen!

                                              

 Accept Jesus Into Your Life

Since we believe in Jesus, we need to act on our faith by accepting Him into our life.
(1)  Firstly, so that He could speak to us.
(a) We do that by accepting His New Testament into our life also, for He is the
Jesus of the Bible, notice John 8:31-32, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free."
(b) When we read and desire to understand His New Testament, Jesus could speak to us.
(2) Secondly, so that He could guide us.
(a) If we will not do what Jesus says in His written Word, and we remain the lord of our life,
we cannot claim Jesus, as our Lord indeed, Is He?; and we will still destroy our own life.
Notice Luke 6:46, "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
(b) When we obey His New Testament, we treat Him truly that He is our Lord.
(3) Thirdly, so that He could help us do what is right for His glory.
(a) We can only accomplish good and beneficial things through Jesus.
See Philippians 4;13, "I can do all things through Christ..."
(b) Have you seen those puppet shows? You know that those puppets could not
do anything without their owner, could they? Likewise, without Jesus in
our life to guide and to control us, we are nothing, and we could not
do anything good or right int he sight of God.
(4) Fourthly, so we could have God's righteousness in us.
(a) God said int he Scriptures that he imputes or ascribes righteousness freely
to those that accept His Son into their life. Notice Romans 4:6, "Even as
David also describes the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputes
righteousness without works."
(b) Jesus' righteousness is what really counts, and when we have Him in our
life, we have His righteousness in us too. Our righteousness or self-
righteousness is worthless, and it is only as worth as filthy rags
in the eyes of God.
(5) Fifthly, so we could live our life for him.
(a) Many people accepted many things in their life and they are only living for them
including their families, properties, religion, business, etc., but none of those
things can give them eternal life.  Notice Philippians 1:21, "For to me to live
is Christ, and to die is gain."
(b) None of those things will pay for their sins and deliver them from hell, but
to live for Jesus is to gain abundant life here on earth,
and eternal bliss in heaven. Live for Jesus!




 Invitation

Since you believed that He paid all your sins in full, past, present, and future,
would you accept this living Jesus of the Bible into your life today?  Amen!

.

Pray A Simple Prayer

 Dear Jesus, I have lived in sin all my life, and committed countless sins. I know I deserved to be punished.
I believe you came into this world and died for all my sins. Since you loved me, died for me, and saved me,

I  now accept you into my life as my personal Savior and Lord.  I will live my life for you from now on. Guide
me through your Spirit and through your Word. Amen!




What To Do Next?

Now, that Jesus is in your life, He wants your to grow in His Word to have 100% assurance of your salvation.
Notice 1John 5:13, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that
ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

1. Pray daily for wisdom and guidance, and other things.
2. Read, obey, and ask the Lord to help you understand His New Testament
in its entirety in 3 to 6 months.
3. Go to a  Biblical Baptist Church on Sundays to be a part of God's family.
We recommend our church if you are in Los Angeles or Orange County area.
