It’s not the church’s plan; it’s God’s. But it’s simple and it’s for everybody.
Many have asked, “What must I do to be saved?” I’m thankful that the Bible gives the answer. It would be confusing to seek this truth in the world…so much contradiction! But God made it plain, easy to understand, straightforward, uncomplicated.
We all have a sin problem that separates us from God (Rom. 3:23; Isa. 59:2).
Because God wants a relationship with us, He reached out to us by sending His Son to die on the cross for our sins (Rom. 5:8). Grace in action!
If we want a relationship with God, we reach out to Him by being baptized into His Son for the removal of that sin problem (Rom. 6:1-4; Gal. 3:27). Faith in action! At the moment of baptism, the Lord adds us to His body, the church (Acts 2:37-47; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4-6).
And the Christian life is all about walking in the Light so the “blood of Jesus continually cleanses us from our sins” and we have “fellowship one with another” (1 John 1:7).
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.”
(Titus 2:11)
