God's Plan of Salvation
How can I be saved today?
Understand four things:
1) Understand that God loves us:
1. (John 3:16) “For God so loved the __________, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
__________ believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
* God loves us so much that He was willing to give His Son Jesus Christ's life so we could live forever with Him!
* The two words you wrote in the blanks show us two aspects of God's love:
-”World” shows us that God loves everyone. Everyone who has ever been, or ever will be born,
God loves!
-”Whosoever” shows us that God wants His love to be on a personal level with us, God wants to
have a relationship with us!
-”Whosoever” means you - if you will put your faith in Jesus Christ today you will never perish,
but have everlasting life!
2. (John 15:13) What is the greatest display of love that has ever been shown?
__________________________________________________________________________________
* There is no greater love on earth than the sacrificial love that Jesus Christ has displayed for us!
2) Understand why we need to be saved:
3. (Romans 3:23) “For all have __________ and come short of the glory of God.”
*We sin when we break God's law, and according to this verse everyone has!
4. Lets look at just two of the Ten Commandments, God's law:
* (Exodus 20:15) “Thou shalt not steal.”
-Have you ever taken anything that was not yours, even something small?
* (Exodus 20:16) “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
-Have you ever told a lie, even a little white lie?
* Most likely you have answered yes to both of these - and if we covered the other eight your answer would probably be the same!
* The sad fact is, as (Romans 3:23) taught us, we have all sinned.
5. The reason we need to be saved is summed up in one verse of the Bible:
* (Isaiah 59:2) What do our iniquities (disobedience) do between us and God?
___________________________________________________________________________________
-What do our sins cause God to do?
_____________________________________________________________________________
* Our sins and disobedience literally separate us from God, destroying any chance of relationship with Him or any chance of a home in Heaven for all of eternity.
3) Understand that in the name of Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved:
6. (John 14:6) Jesus said, “I am the __________, the __________, and the __________: no man
cometh unto The Father but my __________.
7. Read (Acts 4:12) speaking of Jesus Christ:
-Is there anyone else who can save us?______________________________________________
-Is there any other way to be saved?________________________________________________
* Only through Jesus Christ can we be saved today - there is no other way!
8. (1st Peter 2:24) Tells us why Jesus Christ is able to save us:
-”Who His own self bare __________ __________ in His own body on the __________ .”
* Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins when He died on the cross!
4) Understand we have to receive Jesus:
9. (John 1:12) What does Jesus give to those who will receive Him?
___________________________________________________________________________________
-”Even to them that __________ on His name.”
* Jesus died for everyone He loves, and we've learned that He loves everyone!
* But that does not mean that everyone is saved - only those who receive Him as their personal Lord and Savior are truly saved!
10. (Revelation 3:20) What does this verse show Jesus doing?
___________________________________________________________________________________
-What does He promise if we will invite Him in?
_____________________________________________________________________________
11. (John 6:37) What does Jesus promise in this verse to those who will come to Him?
___________________________________________________________________________________
* Jesus will never turn away someone who calls out to Him in faith.
So how do we get saved?
12. (Romans 10:9) “That if thou shalt __________ with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt _________
in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou __________ __________ ___________ .
* The Bible shows us two things that we have to do to be saved - confess and believe.
* Lets think first about what you believe:
-Do you believe that God is real (Genesis 1:1)? ______________________________________
-Do you believe that there is a literal Heaven (Revelation 21:1-5)? _______________________
-That there is a literal Hell (Revelation 20:15)? ______________________________________
-Do you believe that The Bible is the word of God (2nd Timothy 3:16)? __________________
-Do you believe that Jesus is The Son of God (John 3:16)? _____________________________
-That Jesus died for your sins (1st Peter 2:24)? ______________________________________
* If you answered yes to all these questions, you believe everything you need to believe in order to be saved.
* To be saved today, confess to God that you need a Savior - call out to Jesus Christ in faith right now and ask Him to save you!
* You may wish to pray this simple prayer:
-Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying for me.
-I now confess that I am a sinner and need to be saved.
-I invite you, Jesus Christ into my life to be my personal Lord and Savior.
-Please give me a brand new life of living for You and lead me in Your will for my life.
-Thank You for saving me!
-In the name of Jesus Christ I pray - Amen!
13. (Romans 10:13) What great promise does this verse make to those who will call upon the name of
The Lord?
___________________________________________________________________________________
