God’s Plan for Salvation
BELIEVE IN JESUS (Not simply that He exists, but trust Him to be your Savior.) Mark 16:15, 16; John 6:68-69

REPENT (or turn away from sin by an act of your own will—no excuses, no strings attached. Decide now to live for God.) Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38

CONFESS (before witnesses that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and your personal Lord.) Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9

BE BAPTIZED (immersed into Christ. The Father will forgive you, the Son will cleanse you, the Holy Spirit will live in you.) Acts 22:16; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:3-9

LIVE FOR CHRIST (and serve Him in a faithful New Testament church.)

“Knowing God By His Love - Believe God’s Testimony”

What do you do when someone calls you out on the truth?

God! Don’t send me because…….. ?

Are you ignoring His call?

Your burden may not be heavy, if you know why you’re carrying it.

The weight of telling the world about Jesus is heavy.

The weight of sin…. is a burden.

God testifies to the Truth.

Baptism marks the beginning of our new life!

Do you know eternal Life??

Do His commands offend you?

“Knowing God By His Love - He First Loved Us”

Thank God for the good qualities you have…passed down through the generations.

Love one another…. Concept originated with God.

God IS Love! We need to be born of God.

We live in Him. Acknowledge Jesus, and God will live in you.

Simply Love….. without agenda! It will change your attitude. Simply focus on Love ….without agenda.

You can’t hate a brother… and Love God.

In Christ, we are forgiven….and getting better.

Can you say “Thank you God for loving me first?”

“Knowing God By His Love - Love One Another”

Think of someone in your life you are trying to please………..
What are the reasons???

All we do…should be done to please God!

Put your faith in Jesus and His command… you will please God. “Love one another”

Don’t be like Cain….. jealous!!

Love is not hatred or jealousy. It is unconditional sacrifice….. Jesus did that!

Are we pleasing God?

“Knowing God By His Love - God Loves You”

We are children of God….. we are future impact!

He has passed on to us what He had to give….for us to pass on.

When you know you are God’s child, you’ll never see the world the same.

Behold the Love God has for you.

He purifies us.

If you have God’s seed in you, it is reproducing….

Humble yourself and He will lift you up.

Behold the Love God has for you!!

“Knowing God By His Love - Who Do You Love?”

There’s no place like home……

Are you homesick for Heaven?

‘Do not love the world, for God is not in you’

Loving the world is a selfish act. Loving people is a selfless act.

Do I love God or self serving desires?

The Glory of God lasts forever.

Resist the Devil and he will flee from you.

Continue to be homesick for Heaven.

“Knowing God By His Love - Don’t Stumble”

The more you walk with Him, the more you become like Him.

How do you display Jesus??

‘If you love one another…’

“Love each other as I have loved you”.

Listen to the Holy Spirit.

Do you love as Jesus loved you?

If you claim to be in the Light, but still hate your brother, you stumble from a dark place.

Are there levels of Love….. or hate?

Who’s problem is your ‘dislike’ of others?

Humble yourself. Jesus was forgiving them as he was being nailed to th cross.

Lose the darkness in you to cast your (His) light.

“Knowing God By His Love - Live in the Light”

Our love for God is conditional! It’s the kind of condition that says “I can’t Love you without you Loving me”

God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

How much can Jesus blood cleanse us?

Confess your sins!! We are all sinful.

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

What is actually good? He defines what is good. We fall short of His mark.

Do you love Jesus?

If you love Him, you will obey His. Commands.

Be IN God’s Word to be filled. Let Him speak to you.

Read the Gospels!! The more you read them, the more you will understand if your faith is in Jesus. Listen and learn!

Live is His Light
