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."
