✞ Plan of Salvation ✞

What Must I Do to be Saved?

Hear the Gospel. "How shall they call on him whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14).
Believe. "And without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him" (Hebrews 11:6).
Repent of past sins. "The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent" (Acts 17:30).
Confess Jesus as Lord. "Behold here is water; What doth hinder me to be baptized ? And Philip said, if thou believeth with all thy heart thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God" (Acts 8:36-37).
Be baptized for the remission of sins. "And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).
Live a Christian life. "Ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).

"Biblical Principles to Determine Right and Wrong"

By: Bill Bryant, Wooddale Church of Christ

(The following article was given to me many years ago in a Bible class. It has been extremely helpful in my own life and has been used in a number of Bible classes for young people. I do not know the author's name, buy may his tribe increase. Bill Bryant)

Write down the activity about which you have a question. Then answer the following questions concerning this activity with a "Yes" or "No" answer. Be honest with yourself and be willing to accept what the Bible says.

1. Am I commanded not to do it? (James 4:17)
2. Can I do it to the glory of God? (I Cor. 6:19-20 / 10:31)
3. Can I do it in the name (with the authority) of the Lord? (Col. 3:17)
4. Is it of the world? (I John 2:15-17)
5. Would Jesus do it? (I Peter 2:21)
6. Does it have the appearance of evil? (I Thess. 5:21)
7. Is it a weight? (Heb. 12:1)
8. Is it an example to the believer? (I Tim. 4:12)
9. Is it a stumbling block? (I Cor. 8:9 / Rom. 14:13)
10. When Jesus returns, would you like to be found doing it? (I John 2:28)
11. Is there any doubt in your mind? (Rom. 14:23)
12. Will it make me a better Christian? (II Peter 1:5-8)
13. Will it help lead others to Christ? (Mark 8:36-38 / 16:15-16)

What is your conclusion? According to the Bible, is it right or wrong?
