GOD'S SIMPLE PLAN OF SALVATION

Why did Jesus die?

1 Man by nature does evil (wrong).

John 3:19 Rata-imi hi dunia' mpokeni baja hi hawe'ea tauna. Tapi' manusia' mpokono-pi bengi ngkai baja, apa' dada'a kehi-ra. Toe pai' Alata'ala mpohuku'-ra.

We are all sinners!

2 By that nature we are condemned.

John 6:40 Toi-mi konoa Tuama-ku: bona hawe'ea to mpohilo pai' to mepangala' hi Aku' Ana'-na mporata katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na, pai' kupopemata-ra hi Eo Kiama."
John 3:18 Tauna to mepangala' hi Ana' Alata'ala, uma-ra rahuku'. Aga tauna to uma mepangala', monoa'-mi kanahuku'-ra Alata'ala, apa' uma-ra dota mepangala' hi Ana' Alata'ala to Hadudua toei.
John 3:36 Tauna to mepangala' hi Ana'-na toei, mporata-ramo katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahaehae-na. Tauna to uma mengkoru hi Ana'-na toei, uma-ra mporata katuwua'. Mporata roe Alata'ala lau-rada duu' kahae-haena.

There is a cost for sin!

3 Jesus was in the world and he died for us.

John 14:6 Na'uli' Yesus: "Aku' toi-mi ohea, Aku' to makono, pai' to mpowai' katuwua'. Uma haduaa to rata hi Tuama-ku, ane uma ntara hi Aku'.
John 3:17 Bela patuju-na Alata'ala mposuro Ana'-na tumai hi dunia' bona mpohuku' manusia'. Patuju-na mposuro Ana'-na tumai-le, bona mpohore manusia' ngkai huku' jeko'-ra.
John 1:10,12 Hi'a-mi to napopale Alata'ala mpopajadi' dunia' toi. Tapi' karata-na hi dunia', tauna hi dunia' uma mpo'incai-i. Tapi' hema-hema to mpotarima-i pai' mepangala' hi Hi'a, nawai'-ra huraa jadi' ana' Alata'ala.

4 Salvation is a free gift, not by good works. You must take God’s word for it, and trust Jesus alone!

Acts 4:12 Uma ria ohea ntani'-na mporata kalompea' ngkai Alata'ala, muntu' Yesus-wadi. Apa' hi humalili' dunia', uma ria haduaa tau ntani'-na, muntu' Yesus-wadi to naparia Alata'ala hi manusia', Hi'a-wadi to mokuasa mpohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko'-ta."
Ephesians 2:8-9 Alata'ala mpohore-ta ngkai huku' jeko'-ta, muntu' ngkai kabula rala-na-wadi, sabana pepangala'-ta hi Yesus. Nahore-ta toe, bela ngkai kalompe' kehi-ta. Toe bate pewai' mara Alata'ala hi kita', bela ngkai po'ingku-ta. Toe pai' uma ria haduaa to ma'ala mpo'uli': "Ngkai kalompe' po'ingku-kule pai'-a nahore Alata'ala ngkai huku' jeko'-kue."
Titus 3:5-6 Napa pai' nahore-ta ngkai huku' jeko'-ta toe-e? Ba nahore-ta apa' monoa' kehi-ta? Bela-hawo. Nahore-ta toe, muntu' ngkai kalompe' nono-na moto-hawo. Yesus Kristus mate mpotolo' jeko'-ta jadi' Magau' Tompohore-ta, alaa-na Alata'ala mpowai'-tamo Inoha' Tomoroli', to uma mowo kabohe kuasa-na hi rala nonota. Hante kuasa Inoha' Tomoroli' toe, nabohoi'-tamo ngkai jeko'-ta, nawai'-ta katuwua' to bo'u pai' nono to bo'u.

5 You must believe on the Lord and you will have everlasting life!

John 5:24 "Makono mpu'u lolita-ku toi: Hema to mpo'epe lolita-ku pai'-ra mepangala' hi Pue' Ala to mposuroa, bate mporata-ra katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na. Uma-ra mpai' rahuku' sabana jeko'-ra. Tebahaka-ramo ngkai kamatea, mporata-ramo katuwua'.
John 6:47 Makono mpu'u lolita-ku toi: hema to mepangala' hi Aku', mporata-ramo katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na.
John 10:28 Kuwai'-ra katuwua' to lompe' duu' kahae-hae-na, pai' monoa'-mi ka'uma-ra mpai' rahuku' hi naraka. Uma ria haduaa to ma'ala mpo'agoi-a bima-ku.

If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness from God, here is prayer you can pray. Saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Jesus Christ that can provide forgiveness of sins. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your forgiveness.

"Lord, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Jesus alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!"
