The Process Of Salvation (Part 3)

A nurse on the pediatric ward had a practice that, before listening to the chest of a little one, she would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their own hearts. Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never got a response equal to that of a 4-year old named David. Gently she tucked the stethoscope into David's ears and placed the disk over his heart. "Listen," she said. "What do you suppose that is?" He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if lost in the mystery of the strange tap, tap, tapping deep in his chest. Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked, "Is that Jesus knocking?" From CyberSalt Digest

Yes, Jesus is knocking and wanting us to begin the salvation process.
The Apostle Paul in dealing with the Christians at Ephesus, answers these questions concerning The Process of Salvation. Why do we need to be saved? The 4 part picture of the unbeliever.
How Can We be saved? 2 things: The Grace Of God, And Our Faith.

Theme: Today:What are our specific responses of faith?
Let’s look at what the Christians at Ephesus did: We will look at the Letter that Paul wrote, and what happened at Ephesus on Paul’s 3rd Journey. By grace we are saved, through our faith (Ephesians 2:8-9)

As we reach out in faith and receive the gift of God's Son to save us, we respond in four ways.
1. By Hearing The Word Of Truth (Ephesians 1:13a)
2. By Believing The Word Of Truth (Ephesians 1:13b)
3. By Repenting Because Of The Word Of Truth (Ephesians 2:1-3)
4. By Being Baptised, Because Of The Word Of Truth (Acts 19:4-5)
5. By Being Faithful In The Christian Life, Because Of The Word Of Truth
(Acts 19:11-20)
