How do we start? After establishing that the person is saved, the very next truth for them to learn is the:
1. FOLLOWING CHRIST IS THE VITAL CONNECTION BETWEEN SALVATION & THE REST OF LIFE
This connection was taught by Paul in Colossians 2:6. Note with them what Paul said:
Colossians 2:6 (NKJV) As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
The same way God saved us is how we are to follow Christ through life. We hear the Gospel from God’s Word, we believe the truth and respond in faith, and God transforms us. That is the pathway of salvation, and the pathway of each day of our life as believers. Taking God at His Word and seeing Him at work in us. That is simple, clear, and easily explained in Scripture.
2. FOLLOWING CHRIST IS COMPLETELY TIED TO GOD’S WORD
Turn to the Romans Road, one of the simplest explanations of salvation, and look at the final stop in Romans 10:13 (see also v. 5,8,11).
Romans 10:13,17 (NKJV) For āwhoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.ā17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We are saved by hearing, and responding to the truth of the Word of God. The Gospel flows only from God’s Word, and nowhere else. Only by believing the Gospel contained in God’s Word the Bible can a person be saved.
