Plan of Salvation:
Getting
Back to
the Bible
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe
in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
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.

XL Summit: Better Together: How Workplace Ministry
Contributes to the Flourishing of a City
Now in its seventh year, the summit
included vibrant conversation and
practical insights on how Christians
can understand work as worship and
bring faith expression to their every-
day work environment.
Proudfit opened the summit with a

istry nationally,” added Proudfit.
The Christian message is often re-
ferred to as the "Gospel," which
means "good news." Specifically, it
is the good news about Jesus—who
He is, what He has done, and what
He offers. Essentially, the message
is that Jesus was God in the flesh,
that He came into the world to rec-
oncile humanity to Himself, and
that his salvation is freely offered to
each person who will respond in
faith. The Gospel message explains
that salvation is only possible
through the Crucifixion and Resur-
rection of Jesus. Through his sacri-
fice, Jesus paid the price for our sin-
fulness (rebellion against God), thus
offering us forgiveness. Then
through his Resurrection He con-
quered death, removing it as the
penalty for our sin and replacing it
with the offer of eternal life that is
only available from Him to all those
that place their faith in Him.
