What is the plan of salvation / way of salvation?

plan of salvation Question: "What is the plan of salvation / way of salvation?" Answer: Are you hungry? Not physically hungry, but do you have a hunger for something more in life? Is there something deep inside of you that never seems to be satisfied? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty” (John 6:35). Are you confused? Can you never seem to find a path or purpose in life? Does it seem like someone has turned out the lights and you cannot find the switch? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus proclaimed, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). Do you ever feel like you are locked out of life? Have you tried so many doors, only to find that what is behind them is empty and meaningless? Are you looking for an entrance into a fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is the way! Jesus declared,

Christianity? What is it? What is Christianity not?

Ever wondered what is Christianity? Here are some ideas from scripture. Christianity is not just something we do, but something Jesus did for us. Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Christianity is not intended to make us better people; Jesus makes us new people. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Christianity is not just pie in the sky when you die, it is the kingdom of heaven in our hearts.

Matthew 22:37 "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Christianity is not a heavy burden, Jesus' burden is
