God's Plan For Eternal Life
The Bad News
1. Admit you are a sinner - "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
2. The penalty for sin is death - "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23
The Good News
1. Christ died for you - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
2. You can be saved through faith - "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
3. Trust in Christ alone - "Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved," Acts 16:31
Salvation is the free gift of God, neither merited nor secured in part, or in whole, by any virtue or work of man. It is received only by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
When God has begun a saving work in the heart of any person, He gives assurance in His Word that He will continue performing it until the day of its completion. Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; Romans 5:6-11
