✞ 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).

Scripture of the Day

Don't ever give up on anything. One thing to always remember is this, "What God has for you, is for you." If something is in His plan, in His time, it will come to fruition. In the same manner, we can't expect things to just fall in our laps. We have to get up and take that first step if we want God to help us get to where we want to be.*

I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.

GOOD ENOUGH?
by Tom Smith, Wooddale Church of Christ

Someone has written, "There is no more insidious danger than the lure of the good enough."

This is particularly true in the realm of the spiritual.

Self-satisfaction is the mother of complacency. Complacency is the mother of sloth. And sloth brings condemnation.

Well did Paul warn Christians, "For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself" (Galatians 6:3).

One who thinks he knows enough will cease to study.

One who thinks he gives enough will not increase his giving.

One who thinks he does enough will cease from doing.

The feeling that we are "good enough" is the grave of growth.

Growth is the law of life.

Like Paul of old, we should rather say, "I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:13-14).

Like an old Scots preacher, we should pray: "Lord, keep me alive as long as I live."

Let us not be seduced by "the lure of the good enough."

Philippians 3:13-14

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one things I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
