✞ 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).

Since the Devil can't be everyone at once, does he use demons to tempt people?

In 2 Corinthians 4:4, the Devil is described as "the god of this world." Other scriptures giving similar designations are: John 12:31; John 14:30; John 16:11; Ephesians 2:2; and Ephesians 6:12.

We are warned to "be sober, be vigilant, because our adversary, the Devil, as a roaring lion roameth about, seeking whom he may devour" 1 Peter 5:8. This confirms the devil cannot be all places at all times. However, this is not to say he commands his minions to do his bidding around the world. Demon possession is no longer a reality in today's world (Zech 13:2).

The influence of the devil is found everywhere. When one chooses not to do the will of God, there is only one other who is left to be served, and that is the devil (Romans 6:12-18). When we sin, it is not demons messing with out minds. We all have free will, and God always provides a way of escape when we are tempted to sin (1 Cor 10:13).
At death, all souls go the hadean world (Luke 16:19-31). It is here they reside until the Day of Judgment (Rev 20:12-15). Disembodied spirits ("ghosts") do not roam restlessly around the world.
