How Can I Be A Part of God's Family? - Plan of Salvation
Hear - First, we must individually hear the gospel of Jesus Christ because the Bible teaches that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17)
Belief - Next, belief in the gospel is essential to the obedience of God's Word. Mark 16:16 teaches, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned."
Repentance - Third, one must repent of his/her sins in order to be saved (Acts 17:30,31, 2:38).
Confession - Fourth, confession that Jesus is the Son of God (Matthew 16:16) and that He died, was buried, and resurrected for our sins (Romans 10:9-10).
Baptism - Fifth, one must be baptized in order to be saved (Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:18-20).
Live Faithfully - Last, our christian walk should continue until Jesus returns. Our service and obligations to Him is a life-long and willing committment that is done through agape love to our Lord and Saviour (1 Corinthians 15:58, Revelation 2:10).
