God's plan of salvation is so simple, that even a child can understand it. He simply wants us to Ask,
Believe, and Confess to Him our sins. Follow this outline for a better understanding of His plan.
I. Recognize that YOU are a SINNER and LOST
A. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23).
B. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:10).
C. ...There is none that doeth good, no not one (Romans 3:12).
D. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we
all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away (Isaiah 64:6).
E. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6).
II. Realize that God's Law requires that a penalty be paid for sin
A. For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord (Romans 3:23)
B. ...The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:46)
III. Recognize that CHRIST PAID the penalty for YOUR sins
A. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for
our sins according to the scriptures (I Corinthians 15:3).
B. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6).
C. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him (II Corinthians 5:21).
D. 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 (I Peter 2:24).
IV. Realize that you must:
First, REPENT of your sins
A. I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish (Luke 13:3).
B. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of
refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19).
C. He that overcometh his sins shall not prosper,; but whoso confesseth and forsake them shall
have mercy (Proverbs 28:13).
Second, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ
A. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ., and thou shalt be saved, and thy house (Acts 16:31).
B. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:15).
C. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not on the Son shall
not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him (John 3:36).
D. that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9,10).
Third, RECEIVE Christ
A. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name (John 1:12).
B. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him
and will sup with him, and he with me (Revelation 3:20).
