The road to salvation is wide open and easy to drive through. There are 4 turns along the road to salvation.
1st turn: Everyone has sinned. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Romans 3:23
2nd turn: The penalty of sin is death. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
3rd turn: Jesus Christ died our sin. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8
Last turn: To be forgiven for our sin, we must believe and confess that Jesus is Lord. Salvation comes through Jesus Christ. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.
If you believe in Jesus for your salvation you know that driving this road is one thing. Living and staying on this road is another thing entirely. I want to encourage each of you to continue driving, walking, running, or whatever your hearts leads you to do along this path to salvation.
God is calling and saying "Get a move on". Your right- rather it's a walk, run, skip, or hop, God want to see us willingly come to Him. Great post.
