God’s Plan of Salvation - How do I go to Heaven?
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF DEBARY

God loves you and wants a personal relationship with you

John 3:16-17
16 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 17:3
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

What keeps us from this personal relationship with God? Man is sinful and separated from God, and thus can not experience this amazing love.

Isaiah 59:2 - Holy God
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Romans 3:23 - Sinful man
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23 - We deserve to die for our sins
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:3 - God has a plan
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

God has provided a way thru our sin and separation. Jesus Christ is the only way to God because He us our sole atonement for sin. Through Jesus Christ you can know God and experience His love.

Romans 5:8
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It's not enough to just know about God. Accepting Jesus as your Saviour is your personal decision so that you can know Him and experience His love.

John 3:3-5
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Revelation 3:20
20 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.

If you are ready to end the separation from God and trust in Jesus pray to Him or you can pray this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I need you in my life. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Thank you for the forgiveness of my sins. I trust my life to you as my Lord and Savior, and I want to live obediently to you. Take my life and use it for your purpose and glory. Amen.
John 1:12
12 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:

Now What? You were created for a specific purpose; find God's will for your life by:

1. Reading your Bible and pray every day and you will grow as a Christian
2. Find and attend a church and be baptized (to show others you want to now follow the Lord and live for Him)
3. Build friendships and fellowship with other Christians. We invite you to come and join our church.
4. Tell others about Christ. Show your family, friends, and others that God loves them, and they need Christ
Romans 6:6-7
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Acts 2:41
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
1 Peter 1:8-9
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Romans 6:6
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
