SALVATION
…yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. Romans 6:17
1. HEAR
The gospel of Jesus Christ must be individually heard because the Bible teaches that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
2. BELIEVE
Belief in the gospel is essential to the obedience of God’s Word. “He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16)
3. REPENT
Repentance of sins must be made in order to be saved. The decision to turn away from sin and commit to living for Jesus is required. (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30, 31, 2:38)
4. CONFESS
Confession with the mouth that Jesus is the Son of God (Matthew 16:16), that He died, was buried, and was resurrected for our sins must be made. (Romans 10:9-10)
5. BE BAPTIZED
Baptism for the remission of sins is essential for salvation. (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:18-20)
6. LIVE FAITHFULLY
The Christian walk should continue until Jesus returns. Service to Him is a life-long and willing commitment that is done through agape love to our Lord and Savior. (1 Corinthians 15:58, Revelation 2:10)
