What is God’s plan of salvation?

Sin separates us from God. Apart from Christ, We are hopeless, guilty, lost, helpless, and walking in the way of death. (Genesis 3: 14-19, Psalm 38, Isaiah 53:6; 59 1-2, Romans 6: 20-23) The Bible clearly states that we are all sinners. ( Romans 3:23) says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

From the moment Adam sinned, sin entered the world (Romans 5:12) The result of Adam’s sin is a sinful nature that we have all inherited. Being a sinner isn’t a choice we get to make after we are born. It’s simply the way we are born. If anyone claims to be without sin, they are only deceiving themselves.( 1 John 1:8) God forgives our sins and reconciles us through his Son, Jesus Christ.  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” (John 3:16-17) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Act4:12) To have faith means to believe the Gospel is the truth: that Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and rules over our life. Therefore, you entrust yourself to him as your Savior, and obey him as your Lord. (Psalm 40:1-10, Proverbs 3:5-8, John 1:9-13 Romans 10:9-12 Hebrew 11:1,6)
