Step 1: Hear The Gospel
The path to salvation starts with hearing God’s word (Rom. 10:17). This involves more than just listening; it’s about absorbing and embracing God’s message. Through the Gospel, we come to know Christ’s divinity and sacrifice, leading us to the essential belief in Him.
Step 2: Believe in Jesus Christ
Having faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is fundamental to salvation (John 3:16, Heb. 11:6). This trust acknowledges Him as our Savior, urging us to transform our lives. It goes beyond mere acceptance, motivating us toward repentance.
Step 3: Repent of Sin
Repentance is more than regret; it’s a pledge to follow Christ’s path (Acts 17:30, Luke 13:3). This change of heart and mind aligns our lives with God’s purpose. It strengthens our bond with God, guiding us to follow the next step of salvation, confession.
Step 4: Confess Faith in Christ
Publicly proclaiming Jesus as Lord reinforces our faith (Rom. 10:9-10). This step fulfills God’s command, confirms our dedication, and sets the stage for the act of baptism.
Step 5: Be Baptized
Baptism, through water immersion, mirrors Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:3-4). It cleanses us from sin and bestows the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 22:16; 2:38). This action marks our entry into Christ’s church and symbolizes our new life of faithful living.
Step 6: Live Faithfully
Living faithfully means constantly seeking to emulate Christ (Rev. 2:10, Matt. 28:18-20). It’s a lifelong process of growing in faith and obedience. The goal is ongoing alignment with Christ, sustained by His loving grace.
