“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.‘” John 14:6
“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
“Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you – unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” Romans 1:16
“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9
God wants no one to perish eternally (2 Peter 3:9). In our sins, we are lost (Romans 3:23 & Romans 6:23). However, God in His abundant grace, mercy, and love for us provided us a way of salvation (Romans 5:1-11). For this reason and countless others, let God be praised (Romans 7:24-25)! It is clear in the Scriptures that not all will accept God’s generous grace (Revelation 20:14-15) as further evident by the fact that there are 2 roads in life that man can travel on (Matthew 7:13-14). Therefore, it is imperative that we are obedient to God’s plan of salvation – the gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). God’s plan of salvation as outlined in His Word is provided below and described with additional Scriptures in the attachments below. As a final note, even once we are completely obedient to God’s plan of salvation, it is still God’s grace that saves mankind (Ephesians 2:1-10, Luke 17:10)!
