The "Plan of Salvation" according to the New King James Version (NKJV) of the Bible outlines the steps and teachings of how a person can be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. Below is a summary based on NKJV scripture:

1. God's Love for Us

John 3:16 – "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

God loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for our sins. This is the foundation of salvation.

2. All Have Sinned

Romans 3:23 – "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Every human has sinned and fallen short of God's perfect standard. This is why we need salvation.

3. The Penalty for Sin

Romans 6:23 – "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Sin leads to death, but God offers eternal life through Jesus.

4. Christ Died for Us

Romans 5:8 – "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Jesus’ sacrifice is proof of God's love and the means of our salvation.

5. Repent and Believe

Acts 3:19 – "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord."

Repentance (turning away from sin) and faith in Jesus are essential steps in salvation.

Romans 10:9-10 – "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Salvation comes through believing in Jesus and confessing Him as Lord.

6. Receive the Gift of Salvation

Ephesians 2:8-9 – "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Salvation is a free gift from God, not something we can earn by our own efforts.

7. Be Baptized

Acts 2:38 – "Then Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"

Baptism is a public declaration of faith and obedience, symbolizing the cleansing of sin.

8. Live a New Life in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17 – "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

After accepting Christ, believers are called to live transformed lives through the power of the Holy Spirit.

9. Continue in Faith

Philippians 2:12 – "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

Salvation is a lifelong journey of faith and growing in a relationship with Jesus.

The Plan of Salvation is all about acknowledging our need for a Savior, believing in Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection, and committing to live according to His teachings.
