Salvation: Plan for Salvation
![]() To be saved you must turn away from sin, believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and receive Him as Lord & Savior of your life. This process is often referred to as being “born again”. This is how it happens. First, you must consider your life & then turn away from everything in it that is contrary to what God wants. This turning away from selfishness & toward God is called “repentance” (Matthew 3:7-10; Acts 3:19). Second, you must acknowledge that Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive you of sin. You receive Him as your Savior to cleanse you from sin – as the substitute who paid the price due for your sin (Romans 5:9, 10 Titus 2:14). Third, you must ask Him to be Lord of your life, acknowledging openly and verbally to others that Jesus is not only your Savior but your Lord (1 John 2:23) The Bible says that as many as received Him were given the right to become the sons of God (John 1:12). So when you open your heart and receive Him, He comes into your heart – your inner person – through His Holy Spirit, and begins to live His life in you. From that point it is your privilege and call to confess what God has done (Romans 10:9). *This was taken from Faith Alive:"You Must be Born Again" in the Spirit Filled Life Bible for Students.
