Steps To Salvation

Here's a comprehensive program for salvation:

Step 1. Receive Christ as your savior, acknowledging that he paid the price in full for your sins.

Done. You're a new creation, redeemed, justified, and promised eternal life. In fact, here's a list of 37 things that happen when you're saved (interesting to note that the page filename says 39 things):

Now, how do you know you really did the 1-step program right? I liked how it was put on this page:

Also have a look at this article about repentance and salvation:

It helped me when I thought I came back to this post later thinking I was mispresenting the good news, in that turning from your sin is a requirement from salvation. Yes, you should turn away from you sin, but its through Jesus that you do it -- i.e. turning from sin from sin is evidence of your faith and your salvation, not something you do on your own to earn it.

In the end, good "stuff" comes from salvation, not the other way round!
