God’s Plan For Salvation

“Jesus Christ bore our sins (yours personally) in His Body on the Cross” (1 Peter 2:24a).

“For Christ has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but [made alive] by the spirit” (Peter 3:18).

Christ died for you. He died in your place to save you from God’s wrath. You are lost, condemned in sin – “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God (Christ on the Cross) is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23). “The one who believes on Him (Christ) is not condemned; but the one that believes not is condemned already because (here is the reason) he has not believed in the name of the only begotten (uniquely born) Son of God” (John 3:18).

Because of Jesus Christ, salvation is available to everyone. “For God so loved the world, that HE GAVE His only begotten (uniquely born) Son, that (here is the reason) whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” (Acts 16:31a).

The common word in all of these verses is Believe.

Whether or not you decide to trust in Jesus Christ and His work on the Cross, which paid for your sins, is up to you – believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Your decision determines your eternal destination. “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son shall not see eternal life, because the wrath of God is on him (John 3:36).

Eternal life (God’s own life) can be yours right now. In the privacy of your soul, you can decide to trust what Christ did on the Cross for you to save you from condemnation.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that (salvation) is not of yourselves, it (salvation) is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so no man can boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9).
