THE PLAN OF SALVATION

The general plan of salvation in God's Word in a brief outline that is believed and practiced by the Hiawatha Bible Church is as follows:

a) Establish the fact that all men are sinners.

 Isaiah 64:6             Romans 3:23             Jeremiah 17:9             James 2:10             Romans 3:10

b) Establish the fact that the penalty of sin is death.

 Ezekiel 18:20             Romans 6:23

c) Establish the fact that you must be perfect to enter Heaven.

Habakkuk 1:13             Revelation 21:27

d) Establish the fact that man can do nothing to obtain this perfection.

Romans 4:5             Ephesians 2:8-9             Galatians 2:16

e) Show how God provided a sin-bearer in the person of Jesus Christ and imputes to man His righteousness

Isaiah 53:6             Philippians 3:9             2 Corinthians 5:21             1 Peter 3:18

f) Establish the fact that man needs only to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour for salvation.

John 1:12             Acts 16:31             John 3:16-18             John 6:47
