A sermon on three steps to salvation: repentance as turning from sin, faith as total commitment to Jesus Christ, and discipleship as ongoing Bible study, prayer, and church participation. The speaker asks listeners to examine their certainty in Christ and respond to God's call.
There are 3 things you have to do. First, listen to this so you can never stand at the judgment and say, "I never knew." First, you must repent of your sin. How do you repent? The word repent means to change your mind. It means to turn. You're going in this direction in your life, you turn around and start in a new direction. Now, you may not be able to turn by yourself. In fact, you can't. You have to say, "Lord, help me to turn. Help me to repent." It means that you're willing to let Christ come into your life and help you change your whole pattern of living, your lifestyle, everything if necessary. And then the second thing, by faith you receive it. Now that word faith may cause you to stumble. It means that you commit, that you surrender your total life to Jesus Christ. You're not trusting any other god. You're not trusting any other religion. You're not trusting anything but Jesus Christ and him alone to save you. That's faith, total commitment to Christ. And then thirdly, you're willing to follow him. You're willing to be his disciple. Now the word disciple means learner or discipline. It means disciplined learning. You're following him, growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ by studying the Bible, by prayer, by witnessing, by attendance at church. You say, well, Billy, you know, most of those things I'm already doing. But do you really know Christ? Are you sure of it? If you're not sure, if you're not certain that Christ is in your heart tonight and that your sin is forgiven, he's calling you by name. He sees you and he says, make haste and come.
