Derrick Horne Since the fall of man and the manifestation of sin‚ a wedge was placed between God and man. Man has strived to establish a reconnection with God through a variety of sources. Salvation is the source or bridge that connects man to God. Every religion has its own philosophy concerning the path of salvation. “The goal of most Indian religions is to break the cycle of karma and samsara and be free from the burden of life. This breaking of life is called Moksha” (Hopfe & Woodard‚ 2009‚

LESSON 6 YOU MUST HAVE A SALVATION PLAN Knowing in advance how you will show a person biblically to obtain salvation in Christ will give you more confidence in sharing your faith in the Lord. Everyone should have more than one salvation plan for sharing their faith.
