STEPS TO SALVATION (part 3)
Floriculture Team
: i i
We are very proud of the Vernon FFA Floriculture Team. They
placed 10th in the District Competition.
They are left to right: Bree McNees, Lacy Murphy, Ashley
McGee, and Tabitha Brewer. Great Work Ladies!
We have now come to the final step.
The first two steps (confess and communi-
cate) lead us to the last step: comply. If
one is humble enough to admit that he is
lost in sin and that he needs help, then he
will naturally do what he is told.
We have an example of the three steps
to salvation in Acts 2. Peter preached to a
great multitude about Jesus Christ. He
tried to convince his audience that Jesus,
the one they had crucified, was both Lord
and Christ (v. 36). We know that his
sermon convinced many because verse 37
says that they were cut to the heart. They
took the first step. The understood that
they had committed a great sin and that
they were lost. They then asked, "Men and
brethren, what shall we do?" (v. 37) Peter
responded, "Repent, and let every one of
you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins; and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (v. 38)
How many of them were baptized? Those
who took the second step: "Then those
who gladly received his word were bap-
tized..." (v. 41) Those who gladly received
his word... I believe that is the key.
Think back to the last article. Do you
remember the two men who both had a
disease? Naaman was the one who refused
the prescribed cure. He was told to wash
in the Jordan river seven times, but he
didn't. Why? First of all, Naaman thought
Eiisha would just wave his hand over the
place and heal him (II Kings 5:11).
Naaman was also a great commander in
Syrian army. He might have been insulted
when Elisha told him to wash in the dirty
Jordan river. He thought to himself, "Are
not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers
of Damascus, better than all the waters of
Israel? Could I not wash in them and be
clean?" (v. 12) Why did he go away angry
refusing the cure? Isn't it obvious? He did
not gladly receive the word.
The only ones who will be baptized for
the remission of sins are those who gladly
receive God's word. It was somewhat of a
revelation to me when I came to understand
that. I've tried and tried in the past to get
people to take the third step without taking
them through the first two.
I can't convince you to repent and be
baptized for the remission of sins if you
don't believe you are lost. The Lord's
command is not for you. You need to take
the first step.
I can't convince you to repent and be
baptized for the remission of sins if you
have already decided how you are going to
be saved. The Lord's command is not for
you. You need to take the second step.
But if you are humble enough to admit
that you are a sinner, and you've given up
on working things out your own way, then
let me hasten to ask you, "And now why
are you waiting? Arise and be baptized and
wash away your sins, calling on the name
of the Lord." (Acts 22:16)
I don't want to deceive you. There is
more to salvation than just baptism, much
more. Give me a call, and we'll sit down
together and review all the Bible has to say
about salvation. We'll even look at what
you should do after you are saved.
But please, whatever you do, don't
wait! If you want to be saved, do it
today!!! "Behold, now is the accepted
time; behold, now is the day of salvation."
(II Cor. 6:2)
