The Seven steps of Salvation

Salvation is not a one time event.

Salvation is actually a process of being born again and then growing into maturity in Christ.
If a person doesn’t this process, is that person lost? The answer is not at all.
When a person is born again, that person is like a babe, and must grow into maturity.
There are certain stages or steps that a person must do in order to grow into the full measure of Christ.
A person, who is already committed to God, will be saved on the basis of that Faith. God is the Final Judge as to who will be saved.

 

 

Step One: BELIEVE in the Gospel

You must believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins, for without faith it is impossible to please God

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

 

Step Two: REPENT of your sins

You must repent and turn away from your sins, for we can not continue living in sin any longer

Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

 

Step Three: BE BAPTIZED in the Name of Jesus Christ

You must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, for the washing away of sins by the Blood of Christ

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

 

Step Four: RECEIVE God’s Spirit

You must ask and receive the Holy Spirit of God, for the spirit guides us into all truth

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

 

Step Five: STUDY God’s Word

You must study the Bible in a disciplined and focused manner and obey diligently God's holy word, to keep from walking in darkness

Psalm 119:1-176 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 

Step Six: OBEY God’s Commandments

You must Obey God's Commandments, which include the Ten Commandments

I John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

 

Step Six: SEEK to know God

You must seek and get to know God through constant fervent Prayer and deep thoughtful Meditation.

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
