THE PLAN

The plan first starts with questions like these:

• Have you found life seems to be missing something, but you do not know what it is?

• Do you feel unhappy about your life, where it is going?

• Are you unhappy with the world and wish you could change it?

• Do you have a relationship with a partner that is becoming more difficult?

• Is there some kind of emptiness inside?

• Have you ever prayed to God to ask Him for answers or for help?

If you have ever experienced any of the above, you are not alone.  

Millions are searching for answers to some of life's toughest questions, even as you may be doing.

Many are finding the answers in "The Plan"

NOT THE PLAN

It is not God's plan for me to be alone, in despair, unsure of my future, troubled by relationships gone bad, or any other thing that depresses me.

But you see, God has an issue with me, and that issue is that He wants me to be perfect and I refuse to be that way, or even when I try to be good, I come up short.

As a person who is not perfect by God's standard, I am separated from a personal relationship with God.

Here is what God says to me personally:

"...  And I will receive you, and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be to Me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." (2 Corinthians 6:17-18)

So THE PLAN is not to be separated from God.

But what is standing in the way?  The answer is, I must follow "The Plan".

THE PLAN

The Plan is based on the Bible:

Romans 3:23   For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 3:10   As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Romans 6:23   For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:3   .... Christ died for our sins ... 

John 3:16   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.

Luke 5:32  Jesus said "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Romans 6:16   Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Luke 13:5   ... except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

In summary:

•  I must talk to God prayerfully, saying "I have sinned against you God, and I know I have not lived up to your perfect standard."   
• "I believe you sent your only conceived Son to Earth to later go to the cross to die for all of my sins." 
• "With all my heart I receive you as my Savior, and I repent of all my sins and yield and surrender my entire life to you, and want you, the resurrected Jesus Christ, to be both my Savior and my Lord.  Please come into my life and take charge of it."

John 1:12   But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Please do not do this privately only, but make a public statement to someone like a pastor in a local church about the confession you have made to God.

And if you have done this, start reading your Bible, starting with the Gospel of John and then the Letter of 1 John.
