THE THREE STEPS THAT LEAD TO SALVATION.

THE CALLED AND ANOINTED:
WHEN PREACHING THE GOSPEL, LET US REMEMBER THE THREE STEPS THAT LEAD TO ETERNAL SALVATION.
THE FIRST IS TO BE SAVED FROM THE PENALTIES OF OUR PAST SINS.
ROMAN 3:-23 “FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.”
WE ALL KNOW THAT THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. (ROMANS 6:-23)
FOR THE VENOM OF OUR SINS NOT TO CATCH UP WITH US, WE MUST CONFESS OUR SINS BEFORE GOD,THAT WE MAY BE FORGIVEN. (SIN CONFESSED, SIN FORGIVEN.)
1 JOHN 1:-9 “IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.”
THEN WE MUST REPENT FROM THOSE SINS. THAT IS THE SIGN OF US BEING SERIOUS ABOUT OUR SALVATION. AND THAT THE GRACE OF GOD WILL NOT BE WASTED WHEN GIVEN.
FINAL STEP IS TO BE BAPTIZED. ANY FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST THAT FAILS TO BE BAPTIZED IS RUNNING HIS SALVATIONAL RACE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
MARK 16:-15-16 “AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, GO YE INTO THE ALL THE WORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE: HE THAT BELIEVES AND HIS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED. BUT HE THAT BELIEVES NOT SHALL BE CONDEMNED.”
IN CONCLUSION: ONE HAS TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR; CONFESS HIS SINS BEFORE GOD; REPENT FROM THOSE SINS AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST, BEFORE HE CAN BE COUNTED AMONG THE HEIRS OF THE FATHER, AND JOINT HEIRS WITH THE SON.
EVERY SIN COMMITTED HAS A BITTER ENDING IF NOT FORGIVEN BY GOD.
NOW MAY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO HATH CALLED US UNTO HIS ETERNAL GLORY BY CHRIST: GIVE UNTO US THE KNOWLEDGE , WISDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE MAY SUCCESSFULLY PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND WIN SOULS. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
