These are the steps one must do to be saved from Hell where the bible decibes it as a lake of fire(Rev. 19:20,20:14,20:15) a place of torment (Luke 16:2 , a place of no rest (Rev 14:11),a place of Eternal seperation from God(Matt. 13:29)
In order to be saved from this place is
1) One mustHear The Word of God(Romans 10:14-17)(Mark 16:16)
This is the most likley reason the majorty of souls do not come to know Christ; Because they have never Heard it..
2)One must believe... In the Death,burial, and reserrection of Jesus Christ. You have to believe that the bible is the ultimate word of God without such Faith it is impossiable to please God (Hebrews 11:6)
Mark 16:16- "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved but whoever does not believe shall be condemned"
3)One must have to repent of thier sins. Now sin is trensgretion of Gods law. The bible says and lists some sins and works of the Flesh in 1 Cor 6:9 in Galatians 5:19 and in Revelation 21: . There is only one cleansing agent to wash us of our sin and that is the blood of Jesus Christ. The bible says we must repent(To Change mind/To Turn Away) of our sins
(Luke 13:3) says Repent or Perish (Acts 2:3 Acts 17:38-God commands all men everywhere to repent.
4)We have to make a confession --Matt. 10:32 and 33 1 Tim. 6:12
Acts 8:35 is and example of confession then Baptism.
The last step is prolly the most debated on but the bible commands for us to do it and that is baptism
Acts Chapter 2 is an example of the path of salvation
they heard- 2:22
they believed- They were "Cut to the heart"--vs. 37
They repented and were baptized -vs. 38
vs.41 and those that gladly recieved his word were baptized and added into the kingdom
Baptism is the step that gets us in contact with the blood of Christ
When we are Immersed under water and raised up it represents Christ as he was buried and reserrected.Romans 6:24
Acts 2:38 commands Baptism
1 Peter 3:21 says very directly that baptism is necessary.
Galatians 3:26-27 tells us that as many(no more no less)of us that were baptized into Christ has Put on Christ. How can you be a Christian if you dont put on Christ?
John 3:5 says you cannot enter the kingdom of god unless you have been born again of water and the spirit
I Wish I could get into the topic of Maintaining your salvation but I have to go. I hope from this bible Message some can see the way of getting to heaven and I hope this shows its not just from good works and being a good person.
If anyone would like to message me and talk more about the way of becoming saved I would love to talk to anyone about it |
