What are the steps of Salvation

You become aware of your need.

You hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ promising to meet that need. John chapter 3

The Holy Spirit convicts and draws you.

You believe the truth of the Gospel.

You repent of your sinful life, turn to Jesus as your Savior and Lord and receive forgiveness of your sins, making God the Lord of your life.

You are received by God, as an adopted Child because Jesus paid your penalty for you.

You receive the gift of eternal life.

You receive the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

You must remember that salvation is of the Lord. It is a supernatural miracle performed by God because He loves you and has provided salvation for you by having sent Jesus to die for your sins, on the cross. You are not saved by your worth or your works, but by God's grace.

Amen!!

Thanks friend, We need more posts on How to receive salvation rather than whether it can be lost,

Seek salvation then feed on the word.

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

1 Peter 2:2.

Spiritual growth is what I think is the next most important thing,

A lack of spirituality can mean one of two things,

Either a carnal Christian.

Or one who don't have salvation.

If you are a true born again Christian and feed on the word, there's nothing you can do to keep from growing.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Matthew 7:18.

If there's sin in your life that will be dealt with as well.

John 6:57-58. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

John 6:63. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Key things about the manna in the wilderness.

1) You had to feed on it every day.

2) YOU HAD TO GET YOUR OWN!!

The true bread is the same way!!

2 Corinthians 13:5. Paul says to examine yourselves to see if Christ be in you.

John says when you are in Christ and Christ is on you, YOU WILL LOVE THE BRETHREN. You're in the light.

It's so easy to SAY Love Love, Love right?

We all Love someone!

So let's examine ourselves like this,

What about anger without a cause.

What about this Christian you just don't like? Ask yourself Why?

Where's the longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, forgiveness, Mercy, and Love that the bread of life bread of life supposed to have supplied you with?

Key words:

( The quickening spirit)

( Virtue )

( Baptism )

1 John 2:9. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
