God's Plan For Us
God
wants us all to know that we are going to Heaven,
but we must come God’s way.
-
First
of all, we are all sinners. "For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God." (Romans
3:23)
-
Because
of our sin, we are under the penalty for sin. "For the wages
of sin is death." (Romans
6:23) This penalty means eternal separation from God in an eternal
Hell.
-
He
sent His only Son to die and pay the penalty of our sins. "But
God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans
5:8)
-
God’s
love is so great that He made a way for our sins to be forgiven.
He offers His forgiveness and salvation freely. "The gift of
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans
6:23)
-
God
offers Heaven as a Gift purchased with His blood on the cross. But
like all gifts, it is not yours until you receive it.
Here
is how you can receive Christ. "If you confess with your mouth
the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved." (Romans
10:9) You must believe in your heart and call on the Lord to save
you. "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Romans
10:13) |
