A - ACCEPT His free gift of salvation. “For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) |
|
B - BELIEVE that He died for your sins. “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9) |
|
C - CONFESS that Jesus is now your Savior. “For with the heart man believes . . . And with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” (Romans 10:10) |
This is the simple plan of salvation: accepting what Jesus did for you on the cross, believing that He died for YOUR sins, and confessing Him as Lord of YOUR life. What a glorious day when you put sin behind and follow Jesus in simple childlike faith.
The One Hundred Club is made up of people at Ashburn Baptist who know 100 Bible verses. These may be verses that you choose or you may use the list of 100 that is given on this sheet. However, it is preferable that the verses be leading verses and that they be selected from the entire Bible and not heavily concentrated in three or four Bible books.
When you know 100 verses, then go to your Sunday School Teacher or Flock Leader who will listen to you recite them. They must be memorized from a standard translation, such as, The King James Version, New American Standard Bible, or the New International Version. Paraphrases are not acceptable.

What a privilege and blessing it has been to us to have been raised in homes with parents who believe and love our Lord and His Word. Our homes were a place of safety and acceptance. Even when we “messed up”, we were shown love, forgiveness, and then, direction.
The home was our first-hand example of God’s sovereign authority, judgment, forgiveness and love. His authorized chain-of-command was in place with our fathers as the head of our families. By our parents’ obedience to God, we could understand God’s holy judgment and His great mercy and love, of which, we are undeserving. There is great peace and harmony when God’s plan is accepted and obeyed.
The godly, Bible-based principles that were impressed upon us and put into practice as children are still a part of us today. These truths provide a basis on which to make decisions for the family, deal with everyday problems, and the raising of our children. It was common to go to prayer and God’s Word to allow Him to direct us to the decision that was according to His perfect will for us.
Also, our parents showed us the importance and obedience to God in the attendance, membership, and service with a strong Bible-believing and teaching Baptist church. We were and are accountable to Him in all things; and the importance of prayer, Bible study, and the fellowship with other believers helps us to live in the center of His will.
One of the most wonderful things about being blessed with Christian parents is the gift of their heartfelt and faithful prayers on our behalf. Those loving “cries” to God have protected us through our lives. God allows in His divine plan for us to be born in homes that will help mold us into His servants that will be strong, faithful and obedient to Him.
What a challenge and command from our Lord to all parents as we raise our children in homes where He is Lord and King! Isaiah 54:13, “All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.”

By now you may have discovered that all roads do not lead to God, and life is not as simple as you once thought. For those who are at this crossroad, the Bible offers a new direction, one filled with purpose, fulfillment and acceptance. The steps are simple:
You must admit your spiritual need: "There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 10:13). We cannot make excuses or blame others for our actions. "For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God…" (I Peter 3:18). Jesus paid the price for our sins. The apostle Paul said, "the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
The word "repent" means "to change your direction." The Bible tells us , "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 (Acts 3:19). God commands us to repent. You must be willing to turn from the things that displease God.
Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). It is essential to come to Jesus just as you are. Don’t try to "clean up your life" before you come to God. Instead, receive Him and allow Him to do the "cleansing". Jesus said, "All that my Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will by no means cast out" (John 6:37).
