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 the Holy Spirit - The One Who Convicts”

It was good for us that He went away. We would rather He be here…. But He had to leave for God’s Holy Spirit to come to us.

We are now the vessel to deliver the Word, with The Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Jesus will stand on our behalf at judgment…He has taken our burden so we have life.

Those who don’t have the Spirit will stand condemned with the devil.

Will you say yes to Jesus?

“Knowing the Holy Spirit - The Teacher”

Jesus taught the disciples to tell the world about Him.

He sent them on the Great Commission…. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

They had to remember…… no notebooks, computers, no help…. but God’s Power. His Spirit would be with them always.

We need to learn from His Word daily.

We will learn from the Holy Spirit…sometimes we need the help of others that are farther in their journey.

Our mission is the Great Commission. It was and is for us to share His Words. Somebody on you life NEEDS it.

He gives you His words!

Do you love Jesus? ‘If you love me, you will obey’

Thank you to the greatest Teacher!

“Knowing the Holy Spirit - The Helper”

What do you need help with?

Are you self-sufficient? Afraid to be a burden?

We ALL need a little help off and on.

Spiritually we ALL need help.

He will provide a spiritual advisor… another helper.

We need help to share the Gospel. Sin and Devil are rampant. We need help to NOT sin.

Don’t tell someone struggling to try harder…..

He comes… to be IN us.

Have you answered His call? Can you see Him?

Do you know Him??

“Knowing the Holy Spirit - The Holy Spirit Comes”

Image the thrill of being there on Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon them…

Amazing things happen when the Holy Spirit shows up.

If you have trouble mentioning Jesus…. Consider your relationship with the Holy Spirit.

When you’re filled with the Holy Spirit, he will speak for you…through you. He will not be silenced.

Stop your excuses… listen to the Holy Spirit.

What a miracle when the Holy Spirit comes.

Repent and be baptized. His Spirit will be in you.

“Knowing Jesus by His Names — The Word”.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. The Word became Flesh”

Jesus came from the Father. He is the Word.

Is there more out there to cling to? JESUS!!

In a world spinning out of control, don’t lose sight of what is real..Jesus.

He became fully man for us!

He was the Light that brought the Truth of Life.

Will you speak the name of Jesus?

“Knowing Jesus by His Names — Lords of Lords”

Who is Jesus? Let’s continue in this search…

From “Hosanna” to “crucify him” in just days.

He is Lord!! He has absolute authority over Heaven and earth. He is the Creator! Created by Him, for Him.

He can be our Savior, but must be the Lord of our life.

Acknowledge Him, confess Him.

Embrace Him as Lord. Yield to His rule over everything in your life.

Lord of our talents, treasures, every aspect of our lives.

“Knowing Jesus by His Names — The Christ”

Who do you say He is?

What will the Messiah do when he comes?

The Chosen One, the Anointed One……. The One God has chosen.

God anointed Him from above at His baptism.

Is He the Son of God? “I Am”

We may get delivered from some things, but we are promised to be delivered from the devil and eternal misery when He comes again.

What about you? Who do you say He is?
