Plan of Salvation
Plan of Salvation
Here at the Bridge, we believe that there is one name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” As a young boy, I realized that my sin separated me from a holy God. There was no way I could ever earn my way to Heaven. It was then, as a child, I knelt down with my Dad beside our couch, and I called out to God. He promises that if we call out to Him, He will answer. I asked the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive my sin, to come into my heart, and to be the Lord of my life.
The Bible teaches that for the believer, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. My friend, there is so much more to this life than living and dying. Every man and woman ever born will one day stand alone before God. Do you know Him? I am not concerned if you have read about Jesus Christ or if you have heard about Him. Do you know Him? It is possible today to know for sure that you are a child of God and that Heaven is your home.

Do you know Christ as your personal Savior? Have you ever received the Lord Jesus Christ into your life?
Realize That God Loves You
God loves you and has a plan for your life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
The Bible Says That All Men Are Sinners
Our sins have separated us from God. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
God made man in His own image. He gave man the ability to choose right from wrong. We choose to sin. Our sins keep us from God.
God’s Word Also Says That Sin Must Be Paid For
“For the wages of sin is death....” Romans 6:23
Wages means payment. The payment of our sin is death and hell, separation from God forever. If we continue in our sin, we shall die without Christ and be without God forever.
The Good News Is That Christ Paid For Our Sins
All of our sins were laid on Christ on the cross. He paid our sin debt for us. The Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross, and He arose from the dead. He is alive forevermore. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
We Must Personally Pray And Receive Christ By Faith
The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
Pray And Receive Christ As Your Savior
Lord, I know that I am a sinner. If I died today, I would not go to heaven. Forgive my sin, come into my life and be my Savior. Help me live for you from this day forward. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
