In the New Testament, God outlines a plan for every man and woman to follow which will guide his or her footsteps into Heaven. This plan was authored by God, enacted by the blood of Christ, and handed down to us by the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. Jesus laid out the New Testament plan of salvation as you can see below.
*HEAR “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15).
*BELIEVE “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides in Him” (John 3:36).
*REPENT “I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).
*CONFESS “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
*BE BAPTIZED “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved, but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned” (Mark 16:16)
*REMAIN FAITHFUL to God’s Teachings “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10)
Following these steps is like following the directions of a map. Each step is vital to arrive at your destination. By remaining true to Christ’s teachings on salvation, we can ensure the safety of Heaven awaits us in eternity.
