| STEPS TO SALVATION 5 STEPS WHY WE ARE NOT SAVED |
| I. WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE Ephesians 2:8: �For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.� |
| It is absolutely impossible for man to save himself. Therefore he must depend on God�s grace; it is the undeserving favor of God. |
| II. WE ARE SINNERS Romans 3:23 �For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;� |
| Every man has sinned and cannot save himself. God will not live in the presence of sin; therefore we must come to God through Christ. |
| III. WE MUST BE PUNISHED FOR OUR SIN Romans 6:23a �For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.� |
| The wages for our sin is eternal death in hell, which is known as the second death. Revelation 20:14-15 �And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.� |
| IV. WE HAVE A MERCIFUL GOD Romans 5:8 �But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.� |
| Christ died on the cross for our sins 2,000 years ago because He loved us so much that He wanted to pay our sin debt. Romans 6:23 but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Now for all who will trust Christ, God offers the free gift of eternal life. |
| V. WE MUST RECEIVE CHRIST AS SAVIOUR John 1:12 �But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:� |
| It is not enough to say we believe Jesus Christ is real. We must receive Him as our Saviour, for only He can save us from our sin. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Will you receive Christ right now by turning from your own sinful way and trusting Him as Saviour and Lord? |
