8/8/2019 The Plan of Salvation for Man

1/2

This leaflet takes for granted that you believethat the Bible is true and that you sincerely want to

understand the message it contains. In the opposite

case, other leaflets are available to answer your

questions concerning the veracity and reliability of

the Bible.

Please adopt the following state of mind so that

this text makes sense for you:

- Listen to your conscience when it speaks to you

about good and evil.

- Be as a child wanting to learn and believe what

the Bible says.

- Be prepared to accept that God can draw you to

himself and that his Holy Spirit can convince you

concerning sin, justice and judgment.- Check if the content of this leaflet corresponds to

what the Bible teaches in his whole.

Are you a good person? Here are some questions

which will appeal to your conscience.

1) - Have you ever lied? Even just a small lie. If I

tell you a lie, you will call me a liar. So if you ever

lied, that makes you are a liar.

2) - Have you ever stolen? Regardless of the value

of the object. If I steal an object, you will call me

a thief. So if you ever have stolen, that makes you

a thief.

3) - Have you ever taken the name of God in vain?

If I use the name of God as a curse word, you will

call me a blasphemer. So if you have ever taken

the name of God in vain, that makes you a

blasphemer.

We looked at three of the Ten Commandments

that are in the book of Exodus chapter 20. I am

quite sure that you have answered yes to at least

one of the questions and we can see in the book of

James:

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law,

and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

I hope that you acknowledge your faults and that

you will plead guilty before God because he

knows your heart and you can not mislead him.

Man is evilThe Bible tells us that human heart is fundamen-

tally bad.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all

things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short

of the glory of God;

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none

righteous, no, not one:

The problem of sinSin separates us from God and none of our works

can compensate for our sins.

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated

between you and your God, and your sins have hid

his face from you, that he will not hear.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and

all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we

all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like thewind, have taken us away.

In addition, sin leads to physical and spiritual

death. For the physical death, a visit to the

cemetery allows us to easily verify this fact. In the

case of spiritual death, we must trust what the

Bible says on the subject.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short

of the glory of God;

Ephesians 2:1 And you has he quickened, whowere dead in trespasses and sins;

The rescueSince we cannot do anything by ourselves to enter

Heaven, God sent us a Saviour to fulfill what was

impossible to man. Jesus Christ has paid our debt

to God completely.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he

gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes

in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8 But God commends his love toward

us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died

for us.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are you saved

through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the

gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should

boast.

RepentanceOne must recognize his faults and ask forgivenessto God. One must also want to change his life

completely.

Acts 3:19 Repent you therefore, and be converted,

that your sins may be blotted out, when the times

of refreshing shall come from the presence of the

Lord.

Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God

winked at; but now commands all men every

where to repent:

FaithWe must believe what God is telling us. But that is

believing? When one believes someone 100% and

when one knows this person is giving the best

instructions, one should obey 100%. It is only

logic.

John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears

my word, and believes on him that sent me, haseverlasting life, and shall not come into condem-

nation; but is passed from death to life.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that said to me, Lord,

Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but

he that does the will of my Father which is in

heaven.

ThankfulnessHow can we say thanks to our Saviour? Give him

glory and offer him our lives by living in a mannerworthy of our Lord.

Romans 11:36 For of him, and through him, and

to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.

Amen.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by

the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a

living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is

your reasonable service.

SharingMeet other Christians who share the same faith so

that you may rejoice and progress together in the

narrow path of the Christian life.

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that you are

my disciples, if you have love one to another.

Try to bring other people to know Jesus-Christ so

he may save them like you.

Matthew 28:19-20 Go you therefore, and teach all

nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching

them to observe all things whatever I have

commanded you: and, see, I am with you always,

even to the end of the world. Amen.

The restoration of all things

Jesus Christ will come back and restore all things

by bringing about his justice for eternity.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears

from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,

neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be

any more pain: for the former things are passed

away.

2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 Seeing it is a righteous

thing with God to recompense tribulation to them

that trouble you; And to you who are troubled restwith us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed

from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming

fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,

and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus

Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting

destruction from the presence of the Lord, and

from the glory of his power;

Plan BIs there another way to be saved?

The Bible says no. It is one of the reasons why

Christians are so disliked in the world. The Bible

is unequivocal when it says that salvation is

exclusively reserved for God's elect; that is those

who believe in Jesus-Christ who died, was buried

and resurrected from the dead.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the

truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but

by me.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other:for there is none other name under heaven given

among men, whereby we must be saved.

What should we do concretely?We could summarize it in two words: Believe and

obey.

As when we scratch a match and it ignites: we see

light appear and heat comes from the flame. It all

happens instantly. The whole fire, light and heat

are inseparable.

It is the same for salvation; it includes a predispo-

sition to make the works God has prepared for us.Repentance, faith and works are as many signs

that God has transformed our heart. At the end of

the world, God promises to give those who have

believed; a new body and a better life which will

not end. Our present life must reflect the one

which we have been promised.

Here are some concrete steps which can make a

big difference in your life:

1- Read the Bible every day. 2- Talk with other

Christians. 3- Attend a church which considers

that the Bible is the only truth and that it is

inspired by God. 4- Listen to the Holy Spirit who

is communicating the will of God contained the

Bible. 5- Pray God to receive wisdom and intelli-

gence in order understand what you read and to

implement it daily.
