1. Steps of Salvation O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps (Jer. 10:23). Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path (Psa. 119:105). But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mk. 16:15). So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Rom. 10:17).

2. 1 Cor. 1:18 Hear – Mk. 16:15; Rom. 10:17 Believe – Mk. 16:16; Jn. 8:24 Repent – Lk. 13:3; Acts 17:30 Confess – Matt. 10:32 Baptized – Mk. 16:16 Salvation Steps of Salvation Acts 7:57 Matt. 11:20 Jn. 12:42-43 Acts 26:28 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord (Acts 7:57). For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1 Cor. 1:18). Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent (Matt. 11:20). Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God (Jn. 12:42-43). Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian” (Acts 26:28). “It’s the blood of Christ that saves, NOT water.” Let’s see what part baptism plays in salvation!

3. BloodWater Rev. 1:5Acts 22:16Washes To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood (Rev. 1:5). And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins… (Acts 22:16). What Cleanses Our SinsWhen It Cleanses Sin Blood is the cleansing agent! Baptism is When the Blood is applied!

4. BloodWater Rev. 1:5Acts 22:16 Mt. 26:28 Acts 2:38 Washes Remits For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins (Matt. 26:28). Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…” (Acts 2:38). What Cleanses Our SinsWhen It Cleanses Sin Blood remits sins!When one is baptized!

5. BloodWater Rev. 1:5Acts 22:16 Mt. 26:28 Acts 2:38 Washes Remits Heb 9:14 1 Pet. 3:21Cleanses How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Heb. 9:14). There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 3:21). What Cleanses Our SinsWhen It Cleanses Sin Blood Cleanses the Conscience! When one is baptized!

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Gal. 3:26-27). Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory (2 Tim. 2:10).
