The answer is found in God's savior. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him alone we can know God personally and experience God's love. It was Jesus who was sent to pay the price for our sins through His voluntary death on the cross. It was by His death that we are able to have access to God's forgiveness and salvation.
"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in Him should
not perish, but have eternal life."
(The Holy Bible - John 3:16)
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, who you have sent."
(The Holy Bible - John 17:3)
Jesus Christ Died in Our Place & Rose From The Dead. Remember what the Bible said, Sin brings death. So for sinful man to enter heaven the price of death had to be paid. God understood our problem and knew we could not beat it alone. So he lovingly sent his own Son, Jesus Christ, to bridge the chasm of sin that separates us from God. Jesus laid aside his divine privileges and walked the earth as a sinless man while experiencing all the troubles and emotions that we do.
"This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do,
yet he did not sin."
(The Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:15)
"For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."
(The Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:21)
Then he was arrested on false charges and killed on a Roman cross. But this was no accident. He did it to suffer the punishment deserved by us all. And then three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, conquering sin and death forever.
"God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
(The Holy Bible - Romans 5:8)
"Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...
He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred..."
(The Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 15:3-6)
This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins. God knew it was the only way we would have access to heaven. This historical act happened about 2,000 years ago and is still being shared with the world today.
Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven. God's plan for your salvation was accomplished only through the actions of His Son, Jesus Christ.
"We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be
saved in this same way, no matter who we are or what we have done."
(The Holy Bible - Romans 3:22)
"Jesus said, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."
(The Holy Bible - John 14:6)
"He personally carried away our sins in his own body on the cross so we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. You have been healed by his wounds! Once you were wandering like lost sheep. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls."
(The Holy Bible - 1 Peter 2:24-25)
It's not enough just to have the knowledge of God's plan.
We read about God's designed plan and now He gives us a choice.
Accept & Trust or Reject & Ignore.
If you choose to accept and receive God's plan of forgiveness, continue to read on. If you choose to refuse and ignore God's plan, please reconsider before going down to the bottom of this page.
Accept & Trust. It was in God's design to show us mercy. Salvation is only obtained when an individual believes (trusts in and literally receives) this grace offered by Jesus Christ. The ability to receive forgiveness by faith is given by God Himself and it's through faith by God's grace that humans get to experience His love, forgiveness and go to Heaven.
For "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
(The Holy Bible - Romans 10:13)
We Receive Christ Through Faith. The step of faith grants us confirmation through God's Holy Spirit that we have eternal life in heaven and also grants us power to live for Him while on earth.
"By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result
of works that no one should boast."
(The Holy Bible - Ephesians 2:8,9)
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name."
(The Holy Bible - John 1:12)
We receive Jesus Christ through a personal act. Receiving Christ involves trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins. Remember, just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We need to receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of our will.
[Jesus Christ speaking] "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him."
(The Holy Bible - Revelation 3:20)
"For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed."
(The Holy Bible - Romans 10:9-11)
As God's partners, we beg you not to reject this marvelous message of God's great kindness. For God says, "At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you. Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation."
(The Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:1-2)
This is God's desire for you - The plan of salvation now and the hope of a future in Heaven.
