Are you born again?

The Plan of Salvation

1. God Loves You Deeply and Personally

God didn’t create you to be religious—He created you for relationship. His love for you is not based on your performance, but on His unchanging character.Romans 5:8 (KJV) — “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”From the very beginning, God’s desire has been to walk with you, to know you, and for you to know Him.

2. Sin Separates Us From God

But there’s a problem. That relationship was broken—not by God, but by us.Because of the nature of man from Adam, we are born into sin. Every one of us has sinned. And sin isn’t just breaking a rule; it’s a broken fellowship with God.Romans 3:23 (KJV) — “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”Romans 6:23a (KJV) — “For the wages of sin is death…”Sin leaves us guilty, lost, and spiritually dead. It doesn’t just make us bad—it separates us from the only One who can make us alive.

3. Jesus Is the Only Way Back

God didn’t leave us in our lost condition. He sent His Son—Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man—to live the life we couldn’t live, and to die the death we deserved.At the cross, Jesus took our place. He bore our sin, shame, and judgment.2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) — “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.”Romans 6:23b (KJV) — “…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Just as Christ was raised from the grave, the spirit that is now dead in you—that spirit where the fellowship with God has been broken—can be resurrected as well, thereby reconciling your relationship with God. You are no longer separated—you become a child of God, made alive by His Spirit.Jesus didn’t come to improve your life. He came to give you new life.

4. You Must Respond Personally

Salvation is not inherited. It’s not earned. It’s not automatic.You must respond to God’s offer of grace with repentance and faith.Romans 10:9 (KJV) — “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.”To repent means to turn from sin. To believe means to trust Jesus alone—not Jesus plus religion, not Jesus plus good works—just Jesus.

5. Today Is the Day

You may feel unworthy. You may feel too far gone. But Jesus said:John 6:37 (KJV) — “…him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”You don’t clean yourself up and come to Jesus. You come as you are—and He makes you new.

Before You Pray—Please Consider This

Coming to Christ is not just about saying the right words—it’s about surrendering your heart, your will, and your future.Salvation is a free gift, but it is not casual. It is the beginning of a new life, not just a momentary prayer.You must understand this: Christ is not calling you to a temporary fix or emotional escape. He is calling you to a lifelong relationship. He gave His life for you—freely, fully, and forever—and He asks you to come to Him the same way: freely, fully, and forever.This decision cannot be forced, rushed, or made lightly. It must come from a willing heart—one that believes, repents, and chooses to follow Him every day, not just today. You are not adding Jesus to your life. You are giving Him your life.If you’re ready to do that—not just to repeat a prayer, but to mean it with every part of who you are—then let’s come before Him now.

A Prayer You Can Pray

“Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for me and rose again.

Right now, I turn from my sin and trust You as my Savior.

Come into my heart, forgive me, and make me new.

I receive Your gift of salvation, and I will follow You the rest of my life.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
