And we have known and believed the love
that God has for us. God is love, and he who
abides in love abides in God, and God in him.


----1John 4:16 (New King James Version)

 

God's Plan For You - Step 3

Your Response To God's Plan

Although He provides a way for you to be re-united to Him, it is up to you to step out in Faith and accept His Gift of Salvation. If you want it, all you need to do is ask for it and then claim it.

"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." (John 3:16) The ultimate act of love is God giving us His only son. By believing and receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, we can be saved from eternal separation from God and have eternal life with Him. It cannot be earned.

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8] God, through His love, sent Christ to die in our place while we were sinners, so that we could be saved (everlasting life with God).

Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) By our first birth we are born corrupt in sin, and are spiritually dead. We must be born again from above (spiritual rebirth from heaven) by asking Jesus to come into our life. He gives us new spiritual life.

"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18) Faith in Christ brings about forgiveness of sin. The only unforgiven sin is denying Jesus as Lord and Savior.
