The Plan & The Practice
“Cease striving and know that I am God;
(The Psalms 46: 10 NASB)
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
If a person has just been saved and knows very little about the Scriptures, about church doctrine, about anything ‘church’ related—can that person lead another person to be saved, to become a Christian?
The simple, easy answer—YES!
- Admit you are a sinner, lost and apart from God, and headed to hell at your death.
- Believe in Jesus, that He is the Christ, the Messiah, the Savior sent by God.
- Confess your sins and ask Jesus for His forgiveness.
The complete answer—YOU WILL BE SAVED & YOU WILL BE WITH JESUS IN PARADISE FOREVER!
The Plan is simple, so simple that even a child of first grade (a six-year-old) can seek the salvation found through belief in Jesus while sitting in school, in daily chapel. This same child was super-excited to begin school this term because (and I quote) “I will get my own Bible when I am a 1st grader.”
- Imagine starting school as a 1st grader and being most-excited about receiving your own personal copy of the Bible to carry and use in chapel each week.
- Imagine the magnitude of this equation—1st Grade + the Holy Word of God placed in a child’s hands + Admission & Belief & Confession =GOD’S AMAZING GRACE, HIS SALVATION!
The Practice is simple, so simple that even a brand-new child of God can share “The Plan of Salvation—The Gospel” with another, with an unbeliever.
- Like an anchor, our HOPE IS JESUS who stabilizes and secures and seals us FOREVERMORE!
- Like an anchor, our HOPE IS JESUS who holds us despite the life-storms and propels us forward, sanctifying us, maturing us, preparing us for ETERNITY WITH HIM!
Consider this deeply. God’s promise of eternal life is based on His perfect character. & God never lies!
The HOPE we have in Jesus Christ is secure!
It is not held by the whole, spinning world, one that is completely out of control.
- Our HOPE & Our ANCHOR is sure & Our GOD is steady.
- Despite our storms, GOD will lead us home, even when our chaotic world shouts otherwise.
“Cease striving and know that I am God; . . .”
Be still & you will see the great I AM!
Cover your mouth & Listen to I AM!
Get down on your knees & spend time with JEHOVAH GOD!
You Who Believe—Do whatever you know the LORD is prompting you to do!
You who believe shall BE HOLY BECAUSE ALMIGHTY GOD—IS HOLY!
“[GOD SAID] I will be exalted among the nations,
(The Psalms 46: 10b NASB)
I will be exalted in the earth.”
The gospel is not superficial; the gospel transforms lives!
Thank You, God, for Your eternal promise, for Your steadfast commitment to us.
Lauren Daigle speaks of God’s Promise. See a portion of her lyrics.
“When I am . . .
“Love Like This”
You are . . .
What have I done to deserve love like this?
You search
To find me
What have I done to deserve love like this?
I cannot earn what You so freely give.
What have I done to deserve love like this?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
What have I done to deserve love like this?”
The Plan is so simple, even children understand & The Practice is so simple, even a new child of God can share the Gospel message with an unbeliever.
“Cease striving and know that I am God;
(The Psalms 46: 10 NASB)
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
