The Plan of Salvation that
Paul preached.
Paul looked out on a World
where God Has Acted! This is Fact which
cannot be changed. God fulfilled His
Covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by Raising Christ From The Dead.
“The
Darkness has turned to Dawning, and the Dawning to Noonday Bright! For God’s Great
Kingdom has come to Earth, the Kingdom of Truth and Light!” [old song]
“After these things I looked, and behold, a
great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and
tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and
crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God
who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"
Rev 7:9-10
Hear – What God has done
“Now when they had fulfilled all that was
written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him
in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the
dead. 31 He was seen for many days by those who came up
with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem ,
who are His witnesses to the people. 32 And we
declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers. 33 God
has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it
is also written in the second Psalm: 'You are My Son, Today I have
begotten You.'” Acts 13:29-33
“Now all
things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus
Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that
is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their
trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Cor 5:18-19
Believe – JESUS
“Paul, a
bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the
gospel of God 2 which He promised before
through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning
His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to
the flesh, 4 and declared to be
the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the
resurrection from the dead.” Romans
1:1-4
Repent – turn to God
“For godly
sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted;
but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For
observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it
produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what
fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication!
In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.” 2 Cor 7:10-11
Confess – Jesus is
Lord
“...that if
you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God
has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever
believes on Him will not be put to shame." Romans 10:9-11
Baptized – Into Christ
“Or do you not know that as many of us as
were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore
we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was
raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in
newness of life. 5 For if we have been united
together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the
likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing
this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin
might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he
who has died has been freed from sin.” Romans
6:3-7
“For as the
body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by
one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, whether
slaves or free--and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Cor 12:12-13
