What is it?

Following God’s Plan is the most important thing man can ever do. And is necessary in order to be pleasing to our Heavenly Father. And this can only be achieved through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. All our Father asks is that we trust in Christ and call upon His name in faith and He will save us.

Steps to take

First, you must believe in the only true God.

Isaiah 43:11

I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

Please Consider the Following Passages of Scripture:

John 3:16-18

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
