Blueprints: Blueprint to Salvation

These are the notes that will accompany Mark’s sermon for this week:

Blueprint for Salvation

We must have a couple prerequisites: (common ground for definitions)

  1. Believe that the bible (the Word of God) is the standard

    1. John 12:47-48

    2. 1 Corinthians 15:2

    3. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

    4. Many people ask about heaven and hell – they don’t believe in the Bible

  2. You have to do something in order to be saved

    1. There must be an objective way to measure.

    2. - Matthew 7:21-23 – “Many will say Lord, Lord” and not be saved

    3. - Romans 3:23 – All sin and fall short

  3. Be reasonable

    1. - 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - People will hear what they want to hear

    2. - 1 Corinthians 4:4 - A clear conscience doesn’t make you innocent

    3. - Ecclesiastes 8:5-6 - There is a proper time and procedure

The BLUEPRINT:

  1. Must believe in Jesus Christ

    1. That Jesus is the Son of God

    2. That Jesus died for your sins and was raised from the dead

    3. Acts 4:12

    4. Colossians 1:15

    5. Matthew 1:23

    6. John 3:16

  2. Repent

    1. Matthew 4:17

    2. Acts 2:36

    3. Luke 13:1

    4. Acts 26:20

  3. Baptism is Necessary

    1. 1 Timothy 1:16 - Paul’s conversion was model/example

    2. Acts 22:16 - Paul’s baptism washed his sins away

    3. Acts 2:26-37 - The promise of forgiveness at baptism

    4. Mark 16:16 - Jesus said it
