Hello everyone, this is my first time posting to this community and I'm really happy seeing there is such a community on the hive blockchain. My name is Hope but I go with the username @ hopestylist and it will be nice to get to know more people here.
Today, I will be sharing some very useful and important words which will be very helpful for your salvation. As believers of the word of God, we were made to understand that in time past God dealt with one nation which is the children of Israel and he gave them a mediator who was Moses, he also gave them laws to guide them in living a life that is pleasing unto God.
While as Christians today, we have been given a better covenant according to Hebrew 7:22, 8:6. Now we are privileged to be under a more better testament through Jesus Christ who is now our high priest as we see in Hebrew 9:11. We were made to understand in the scripture that Jesus Christ came to earth, died and resurrected on the third day and also we were made to understand in Acts 20:28 that he purchased the church of God with his own blood and he has called out his followers from the world just like God chose the children of Israel.
God the father also made us know in Matthew 17:5 that Christ is his beloved son in whom he is well pleased and we should hear him. Christ came to earth to die for our sins because the Bible made us to understand that without the shedding of blood, there will be no remission. After Christ died, was buried and resurrected, before he ascended to heaven, we were made to understand that he told his apostles to wait in Jerusalem for the holy spirit to come upon them.
In Acts 2 we were made to understand that Peter out of the eleven stood to preach to the multitude and about three thousand souls were Baptized into the church and they were taught all they need to know, continued in fellowship, the breaking of bread and in prayers. In the concluding part of that passage, we were made to understand that God continued to add to the church those who will be saved.
Jesus Christ has given everyone the opportunity to be part of his body which is the church according to Colossians 1:18 and we can only get the opportunity to be part of his body when we follow the steps below;
Hear - The first step to being added to the body of Christ is first hearing the gospel - Romans 10:17 and the gospel is that, Christ came to earth, he died and resurrected on the third day 1 Corinthians 15:1-5.
Believe - The second step is to believe in the gospel and have faith in what you have heard - Mark 16:15-16.
Repent - After believing the gospel, it is only right for you to forfeit anything that goes contrary to the teachings of Christ - Luke 24:47, Acts 17:30
Confess - After believing and repenting of your sins, you will have to confess your faith not your sins. You will have to confess with your mouth the lord Jesus - Roman 10:9-10.
Baptism - In Mark 16:15-16 we were told that he who believes and is Baptism will be saved. Baptism put us into Christ and it's what makes us a new creature according to 2 Corinthians 5:17.
After following all of these steps, you are then added to the church which Christ promised in Matthew 16:18. In Acts 2:37-47 we saw that the church began with power, after following these steps, you will have to identify yourself with the church and if there's non where you live, then you can do well to look for the church that practice the teachings of Jesus Christ in totality.
Until next time, stay AWESOME!!!
Something I've come to discover is that not many in the European continent really understand the essence of salvation or the road to it, many are still under the law of religious beliefs of protestantism and catholic. this is why we must continue sharing the gospel of truth, that draws men to the very love of Christ.
thanks for sharing this epistle.
One unique thing about the gospel is that it has the power to save and to redeem us from the lost world, all we need is hear that true gospel and when we believe it we will be able to follow the other steps of salvation.
I hope that as many people that gets to read this don't take the message casually but ask the question that will lead them to their salvation.
It's a good thing that God is the one that adds people to his body, all you and I have to do is go preach the gospel and God will do the increase.
Thank you for your beautiful contribution sir, I'm really grateful 🙏.
Yes, thanks for this piece. I came to realize that the gospel is for all who believes. Thanks to God🎉❤️

Awwn, thank you all, I'm really grateful and I wish you all a prosperous new year too ❤️
Thanks for sharing those beautiful scripture, it's enough to ponder on.
Of course if we want to be safe, we have to follow all the steps you mentioned.
The most important thing is having faith and believing in him, believing in him will draw us closer to repentance , then baptism follows just like you said. Thanks feeding us with the word of God.
You are absolutely right dear, when we believe in the words of God it will be very easy for us to submit ourselves to doing his will.
It's really a great opportunity for to share with you all, thank you more for stopping by to read and Leave such a thoughtful comment.
Thanks for sharing Hope.. God bless you
You're welcome ma'am Angie, I'm glad you stopped by to read 🥰.
God bless you too ❤️
🥰🥰🥰
Oh wow! I see you know a lot about the word of God and you can quote scriptures well. I'm kind of jealous. Of course, I love the Bible. I'm a believer, and I find interest in reading the word of God. Is it bad that I can't quote the Bible well?
Hear
Believe
Repent
Confess
Baptism..
There's more to it (my opinion) but I think these are vital enough.
Thanks for sharing.
It's all about studying Fave, that's all we need.
Of course there is more to it but these are the fundamental steps to being saved. Without these things in place first, all other things will be a waste.
After following all of these steps then we should continue doing all other things that Christ has asked his apostles and now us to do.
I'm really grateful for your beautiful contribution 😊
