Plan of Salvation
1.
A Daily Bible Reading Plan
A Daily Bible Reading Plan
Salvation depends upon the assimilation of the mind to the divine ideas, principles, and affections, exhibited in the Scriptures. This process commences with a belief of the gospel, but is by no means completed thereby; it takes a life-time for its scope and untiring diligence for its accomplishment. The mind is naturally alien from God and all His ideas (Rom. 8:7; 1 Cor. 2:14), and cannot be brought at once to the Divine Likeness. This is a work of slow development, and can only be achieved by the industrious application of the individual to the means which God has given for the purpose, viz., the expression of His mind in the Scriptures of truth. Spiritual-mindedness, or a state of mind in accordance with the mind of the Spirit as displayed in these writings can grow within a man by daily intercourse with that mind, there unfolded. Away from this, the mind will revert to its original emptiness. The infallible advice then to every man and woman anxious about their salvation is-READ THE SCRIPTURES DAILY. It is only in proportion as this is done, that success may be looked for. The man who sows sparingly in this respect, will only reap sparingly.
To enable Bible readers conveniently to carry out the suggestion of the foregoing remarks, the following tables are placed in their hands, under the guidance of which, their daily readings will be methodical and edifying. An indiscriminate and haphazard reading of the Bible is unprofitable, and soon ceases to be interesting; straightforward reading from Genesis is also objectionable. A little read every day from various parts of the word has been found experimentally to be practicable, attractive, and profitable. The following tables are arranged on this plan giving the reader three portions in a day, which it will take only a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes to read, and enable his in the course of a year to get through the whole Bible-traversing the New Testament twice, and the Old Testament once, in course of twelve months. By a strict adherence to this plan from year to year, the reader will reap much profit, and find himself or herself gradually losing the insipidity of the natural mind, and taking on the warm and exalted tone of the Spirit's teaching, which qualifies for the inheritance of the Saints in light.
"He that believes and is baptised shall be saved" - Mark 16:16

Introduction: This page is for all thinking people, regardless of religion, race, nationality, or color. This includes all Christians, Jews, Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, Pentecostals, Calvinists, evangelicals, Wesleyans, agnostics, atheists, liberals, conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, ad infinitum.
This page consists of the following major parts:
A Short Glossary of terms which you may have heard used when people talk about the Plan of Salvation
The Ten-Part Plan of Salvation itself
The full verses from the Holy Bible which are used at this site to document the Plan
The Ten-Part Plan of Salvation is not meant to replace the Four Spiritual Laws, the Roman Road, James Kennedy's Evangelism Explosion, or any similar witnessing program. The Ten-Part Plan of Salvation is the raw material from which these other programs were developed: God's Plan of Salvation as outlined in the Holy Bible.
Glossary of Terms: The Short List
The following terms are used in various contexts to describe the process of coming into a proper relationship with Almighty God.
Accept Jesus as a Personal Savior. Jesus died on the cross so we won't have to die for our sins. However, salvation is not automatic and by default. Each person must accept Him in a conscious act.
Born again. This is the term Jesus used when explaining this process to Nicodemus in John 3. When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you are born again, just as Jesus taught Nicodemus. Therefore, you are a "baby Christian", regardless of your chronological or mental age.
By the way, you can't inherit the born again status from a Godly parent. Each individual must accept Jesus Christ as a Personal Savior as he or she reaches the chronological age of accountablility. This age is usually around seven.
Converted. The process of being changed from a person who is lost to a person who is saved. This has nothing to do with your official church affiliation or membership.
Covered by the Blood. Jesus died on the cross for our sins so we won't have to die for our sins. Therefore, salvation is the process of being covered by His blood, as our protection from God's punishment for our sins.
Lost. The opposite of being Saved.
Saved. Since a person who is not in a good relationship with God is lost and will go to hell at death, being saved is the opposite of being lost. Since Jesus died on the cross as our supreme sacrifice for sin, we say, "Jesus Saves."
The Ten-Part Plan of Salvation
In the beginning, Almighty God created the entire universe, including the little speck in the cosmos we know as Planet Earth.
Genesis 1:1
God was surrounded by angelic creatures who worshiped Him because it was their nature to do so. However, He wanted entities who would love Him because they wanted to, not because they had to.
Human beings were created for the express purpose of worshipping God. We were created in the spiritual image of God so He could have someone to talk to.
Genesis 1:27
God deliberately created us with something theologians refer to as a free moral agency. This means we could worship God because we wanted to. It also means we could reject God if we wanted to.
The penalty for disobeying God and breaking His laws was death. Not just death in the physical sense, but death as eternal separation from God.
Genesis 2:17
Our first ancestors, Eve and Adam, broke God's law and incurred the death penalty for their sin by eating the forbidden fruit..
Genesis 3:6
However, God had mercy, and didn't impose eternal separation from Him immediately. Instead, He set up a system of sacrifice where animals would die on the altar for our sins. From the time of Moses until Jesus was born, animals died on the altar of God so humans wouldn't have to die for their sins.
Leviticus 1:4
But animal death was only a temporary system of salvation. The ultimate sacrifice was to be His own Son, Jesus Christ: The Lamb of God. God was willing to send His only Son to Earth as the supreme sin sacrifice. Jesus was willing to come, and was born in a barn as the Lamb of God. What better place for a Lamb to be born than in a barn?
Luke 2:6
John 1:29
Revelation 5:6.
When Jesus died on that Roman cross, He paid the death penalty for all of us who accept Him. Everyone, from Adam to the thief on the cross, who had watched in faith as animals died on the altar of God as their sin sacrifice was saved by the blood of Jesus on the cross. And, all of us who look back to the cross and accept Jesus as our personal savior are saved by His blood, also. Acts 4:12
The Bible clearly predicts that some day, Jesus Christ will return to Earth and rapture all persons (living and dead) who have accepted sacrificial blood as their salvation from sin. In a Biblical context, "rapture" means the instant removal of all persons living and dead who have accepted God's plan for their salvation by means of holy sacrifice. However, the word rapture, itself, does not appear in the Bible. See Gone, a Novel about the Rapture.
All the Old Testament prophecies about the first coming of Jesus were fulfilled, right down to the place where He would be born. There is no reason to believe that the New Testament prophecies concerning His second coming will not be fulfilled in equal detail

Repent. Dont be an embarrassment to the good name of Jesus the Christ. Anyway, if youre not dedicated to God can you really be saved?
