The Process Of Salvation (Part 4)



This week I will be concluding a series of messages entitled: 
"The Process Of Salvation"
Webster's New World Dictionary defines the word "process" as "a continuing development involving many changes." Going through this process of coming to Jesus Christ as Savior and Shepherd is a life changing process. You definitely will not be the same person you were  before. We have been answering some questions in this series. The question in this final message is: "What does the Christian life look like?" Briefly the Apostle Paul uses a word to describe the Christian life. 
In his letter to the Christians at Ephesus, he uses the word "Walk" six times. I like for you to look at the six "walks" of the Christian life.

1. A WORKING WALK (Ephesians 2:10)
    We are to walk in good works God prepares for us.

2. A WORTHY WALK (Ephesians 4:1)
   We are to walk a walk worthy of our calling.

3. A WHOLEHEARTED WALK (Ephesians 4:17)
   We are to walk wholeheartedly in the will of the Lord.

4. A WONDERFUL WALK (Ephesians 5:2)
   We are to walk in the love of Christ.

5. A WITNESSING WALK (Ephesians 5:8)
   We are to walk as children of light.

6. A WISE WALK (Ephesians 5:18)
   We are to walk circumspectly, not like fools.

Where are you in this process of salvation? The Holy Spirit is in the process of helping you to come to Jesus Christ for salvation, to help you to grow in Him, and to be involved in ministry for Him. All of this is something that takes time. It doesn't happen overnight!  As we close this series of messages. My prayer is that we will allow the Holy Spirit to get us on our journey. That we will open up our hearts to the best that God has to offer us. That we will allow God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the precious Holy Spirit lead us through a process that indeed is the best path one can take in their life. GP
