God's plan of salvation for mankind is availabe... His plan of creation( and that is relationship with mankind) was destroyed by sin, but that was solved by God Himself by sending His son Jesus Christ to redeem mankind... by dying at the cross of calvary instead of us....

ABC's of salvation....

ACCEPTANCE.... Romans 3:23 says, everyone is a sinner, no one ever lived righteous....
        and so accepting this fact, makes us realize that we need forgiveness, and that we need
          a Saviour....  for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus
          our Lord...

B elieve.....

    the Bible says, God did send His Son to die instead of us at the cross of calvary for the remission of our sins,. God Himself  solved  the problem of humanitiy.... because of that sins/ the fall of man we are separated to Him, but He provided, the only way which we can go to Him..... through Jesus Christ, the only way, the truth and the life.... He died for you and for me at the cross of calvary so we can have true relationship with the Father... 
Believing for what He has done to us can give us eternal life, the word of God says.. believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you and your household will be saved... and receiving Him truly in our hearts pave a way for our salvation...

C  Confession.......

    The  Bible  says  if we confess our  sins  to  GOD,  He is faithful  to forgive us and to cleanse  us  from  all our unrighteousness... 1 John 1:9.  and  if  we confess with our mouth that  Jesus  is  Lord we will be saved  from  death  to  life... :angel:

Religious people and preachers continually speak of “being saved,” “getting saved,” “getting salvation,” or “receiving their reward.” What does this mean?

All professing Christians want salvation. None want whatever is the alternative. The masses hope to leave this life for a better one. But just what is salvation? Exactly what is it that they—and you—are seeking? Most merely accept popular tradition and do not really KNOW! Do you? Are you certain?

Take a moment and write down your expectation for salvation—what it means to be “saved.”

Did you write “go to heaven”—“be with Jesus”—“have eternal life”? Or did you write “conversion”—“accepting Jesus now”? Even this much uncertainty raises questions. Does salvation come at death? Or at conversion?

On one occasion, a young man asked, “…what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” (Matt. 19:16). Christ gave a very specific answer. Do you know what it was?

Why the mystery? Why the confusion, uncertainty and outright disagreement about just what salvation is?

God says, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” Surely this includes proving the hope of salvation—and how you will spend eternity!

So let’s prove the issue most supremely important to you—your salvation, and let’s make it absolutely plain, leaving no room for misunderstanding!

Jesus never taught that people should just “believe on Him” to receive salvation. When a young man asked Christ what he must do to have “eternal life”—receive salvation—Christ told him, “If you will enter into life, keep the commandments.” Hearing this, and knowing that the man was rich, the disciples were shocked. They also did not understand how obedience was possible and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Christ answered, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:17, 25-26).

Notice: “NOT every one that says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven [“of” not “in” heaven]; but He that DOES the will of My Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 7:21). Professing Jesus is not enough. And God is not willing to forgive (justify) any who will not also “do” the law.

Obedience to God is a qualifier for those who seek eternal life. It is even essential to receiving or continuing to receive the Spirit of God.

The book of Acts speaks of “the Holy [Spirit], whom God has given to them that OBEY Him” (Acts 5:32). I doubt you have ever heard that before.

I have met many who tell me how good it is that they “know the Lord.” Others have tried to convince me that I need to “know Him” in some supposed way that they prescribe. John wrote, “He that says, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (I John 2:4).

Invariably, the people who tell you that they know the Lord will also state that you need not keep God’s Commandments. They loudly proclaim that Christ kept them for you. This is tantamount to telling pardoned murderers, thieves and rapists that their forgiveness frees them to return to society and do the same things for which they were just pardoned. While judges, prosecutors and the police would never be so foolish, preachers apparently think God is not as smart as the civil authorities.

After living a "decent" life, my time on earth came to an end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what looked like a court house. The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat at the defense table. As I looked around I saw the prosecutor - a villainous looking man who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I had ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left, where, seated, was my lawyer - a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed familiar to me. The corner door flew open and the judge appeared, dressed in full flowing robes. He commanded an awesome presence as he moved across the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. As he took his seat behind the bench, he said, "Let us begin."

The prosecutor rose and began his opening statement, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell." He began by describing the lies I had told, things I had stole, and how I had cheated others in the past. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my chair I sank. I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own lawyer, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten. As upset as I was at Satan for revealing all those things about me, I was equally upset at my representative, who sat there silently - not offering any form of defense at all. I knew I was guilty of all those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least cancel out part of the bad things I had done? Satan finished with a fury and closed by saying, "This man belongs to me in hell, since he is guilty of all these charges, and there is no person who can prove otherwise."

When it was his turn, my lawyer first asked if he might approach the bench. Satan yelled, "I object!," but the judge remarked, "Overruled," and beckoned my attorney to come forward. As he got up and started walking, I was able to see him in his full splendor and majesty. I realized why he seemed so familiar. My attorney was Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. He stopped at the bench and softly said to the judge, "Hi Dad," and then he turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying that this man has sinned. I won't deny any of these allegations. And yes, the wages of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished." Jesus took a deep breath and turned to his Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so that every person might have eternal life. Since this man has accepted me as his Savior, he is mine." My Lord continued, "His name is written in the book of life, and no one can snatch him from me. Satan still does not understand that this man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy." As Jesus sat down, he quietly paused, looked at his Father and replied, "There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all."

The judge lifted his mighty hand, slammed the gavel down, and bellowed from his lips, "This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed!"

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't give up, I'll win the next one." I asked Jesus as he gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you ever lost a case?" Christ lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that has come to me and asked me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, Paid in Full."
