What Is Required Of Me?

1. It is God's will that all men should turn to Him: 2 Peter 3: 9; Ezek. 33: 11; Acts 3: 19
2. We must have faith, and be willing to seek out the Truth: Heb. 11: 6; Psa. 119: 9
3. We must be willing to hear God's Word: Rev 2: 7; Mt. 11: 15; Rom. 10: 17
4. True Faith will cause us to render obedience to God's will: Eph. 2: 10; Jn. 14: 15; 1 Jn. 5: 3; Rev. 22: 14
5. We have to take an active part in achieving salvation: Jn. 6: 27; Phil. 2: 12-15
6. So then, what are these acts of obedience, steps of salvation, that are an active proof of our faith?
a. As already mentioned, we must first hear God's Word - Rom. 10: 17
b. We must believe - Acts 10: 43; 16: 31
c. True belief will produce repentance - Acts 2: 38; 3:19
d. This change of life & attitude will produce in us the desire to confess Jesus as Lord - Rom. 10: 9-10; Matt. 16: 15-16
e. As an act of humility, faith and obedience we will immediately submit to baptism Acts 22: 16; Gal. 3: 27; 2 Cor. 5: 17; 1 Pet. 3:21; Acts 2: 38.
f. Now, as "New Creatures" it will be our desire to remain faithful at all times, rising to walk a New Life (Rom. 6: 4). We can read of many who were faithful to God in Heb. chapter 11, the book of Revelation, chapter 2 and verse 10 teaches us that God expects us to remain faithful, even unto the point of death.
