The plan of salvation: We all have an empty place in our lives without Jesus Christ. No matter what we do or what we own, we cannot have a fulfilling purpose in life without Jesus Christ. A relationship with Jesus is the only thing that will fill the void in an individual's life. If you have not given your heart to Jesus, now is the time to do so according to 2 Corinthians 6:2. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23). Our sins have seperated us from God, but God sent His Son to be the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10). Micah 7:18 says that God delights in mercy. It is the Lord's delight and great pleasure to give you forgiveness. Why choose death when you can choose life? Romans 6:23 says for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. A gift is free and you have been pardoned by the blood of Jesus. You must confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.(Romans 10:9-13). Of course believing involves some doing on our part, Satan and his angels believe, but are not saved. In Matthew 16:16 Jesus said "he that believeth, and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned". In Matthew 28:19 he told the Disciples to baptize in the" NAME" of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and if we study it through, we find that they all baptized in the NAME of Jesus. When we understand the Godhead the way the Disciples understood it, it makes perfect sense. The name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, is Jesus, the fullness of the Godhead is in him. In Acts 2:38 Peter told the people to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and they would recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost. We still do things the way that the apostles did it, just the way that God in the flesh (Jesus) told them to do it. There are those who say that baptism is considered "works" and that we are not saved by works, and in a sense they are right, in that we are not "saved" by works, but see what James had to say about it.
James 2:14-26
King James Version (KJV)


14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

So we conclude that we have to do something beyond just believing, to be saved. If we didn't, then why would all of that other stuff be in there?
