Have you studied you Bible today? This week?

If you haven't, or even if you have, here is a little lesson over the six steps of salvation that we've been discussing at my church to get you opening and dissection that Bible!

If I were you, I would get a notebook and write some of the questions, verses, answers, and any other notes to help you remember some important points.

The Steps Of Salvation

   A. Hear
         1. How does one obtain faith? (Romans 10:17)

         2. What must one hear? (Romans 10:17)

   B. Believe
         1. In order to come to God, we must do what?(Hebrews 11:6)

         2. Jesus said we would die in our sins unless we do what? (John 8:24)

   C. Repent
         1. Jesus said we would perish unless we what? (Luke 13:3)

         2. What does God command? (Acts 17:30)

   D. Confess
         1. Who will Jesus confess before his Father in heaven? (Matthew 10:32)

         2. With the mouth _______ is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)

   E. Be Baptized
         1. Who will be saved? (Mark 16:16)

         2. What is necessary for the remission of sins? (Acts 2:38)

   F. Remain Faithful
         1. After one has obeyed by the previous steps, what is necessary in order to receive the crown of life? (Revelation 2:10)

         2. Baptism is the remission of past sins. If one sins after he has been baptized, what is necessary to receive forgiveness? (Acts 8:22, 1 John 1:9)

→God's part in the salvation of man began with love: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) God sent his son into the world to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus offered his body upon the cross as that sacrifice, and the blood he shed cleanses us from all sin. (Hebrews 10:10, 1 John 1:7) The Holy Spirit revealed to us through the word the things that God prepared for those who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) Man's salvation was planned by God, fulfilled and accomplished by Jesus, and revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

But we have a part in that salvation too. In order to receive eternal salvation, one must obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 5:8-9)←

I know flipping to all of those different verses in the Bible can get exhausting after a while, but it is good for us to fill our mind with and truly study God's word. If we never take the time to know what it means, how are we going to share it with others as Christ told us to do?

Learn the word to speak the word.

Don't forget you can PM me your favorite quote or Bible verse or part of lyrics and tell me why it speaks to you.

You're beautifully made! :)
