Salvation in 7 steps

Salvation is a sacred communion with the Lord (i.e. getting right with God), bestowed through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, as told in Ephesians 2:8-9

Ephesians 2:8-9 from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible reads:

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.".

Why Confess Faith in Jesus Christ?

To confess faith in Jesus Christ, as outlined in Romans 10:10 and Matthew 10:32, involves both a public declaration and a heartfelt belief:

Romans 10:10 - "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

This verse emphasizes that genuine faith in Jesus Christ is not just an internal belief but also requires verbal affirmation. Believing in the heart that Jesus is Lord brings spiritual transformation (righteousness), while confessing Him as Lord with your mouth leads to salvation.


Matthew 10:32 - "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."

Here, Jesus teaches the importance of publicly acknowledging Him. This confession isn't merely a formality but a declaration of allegiance and faith that aligns you with Him in the sight of others, ensuring His acknowledgment of you before God the Father.

To receive this Divine Gift of Salvation:

  • Acknowledge with your voice that you are a sinner in need of God’s mercy.


  • Believe deep within your heart that Jesus Christ bore your sins upon the cross.


  • Humbly seek His forgiveness for your transgressions.


  • Invite Him into your heart and life, asking Him to guide and govern your being.


  • Entrust Him with your life, declaring Him your Lord and Savior.


  • If you have earnestly followed these steps, rejoice, for you are indeed saved.
