Have you ever asked yourself, “Where am I going to spend eternity?”  It is curious that many people make elaborate plans for their short life on earth fail to plan for eternity.  Yet planning for eternity is what accepting God’s plan of Salvation is all about.  Are you ready to meet God?

Does it make any difference which gospel we believe?  Yet, there is only “One Body, One Spirit, just as you were all called into one and the same hope when you were called.  “There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God who is the Father of all,” Ephesians 4:4-6.  Why then, do people believe in so many gospels today?

I have a firm and deep conviction that there has never been a time in the history of Christian dispensation when there are more deceived people in the churches of our land than there are at this present time.  It’s not as easy as many people suppose to find one who truly knows the Lord.  Surely, they are not to be found in every church.  John Wesley said: “Many people have been inoculated with a mild dose of Christianity that makes them immune to the real thing.”  I believe this to be a descriptive and true statement today.

Sanctification, Justification, Reconciliation, Regeneration, Propitiation is just a few of the words the Bible used in the plan of Salvation.  Then there is Manifestation, Transformation, Purification, Predestination, Preservation, and more, Transgression, Destination, Condemnation and Alienated. Let us be honest—don’t some of these religious terms seem vague, and meaningless, when you stop to think about it?  But all of these words pertain to your Salvation and Eternal life.  They all come into reality with the seven steps that we must tread.  But, after this study you will understand this Biblical terminology in a Christian way.

Now let us make our journey down the seven roads to Eternal life.  These roads to Salvation are as sharp as the razors edge.  Anything less than total commitment to the goodness of God, which can be sins of omission or sins of commission, is short of sanctification.  We are hallowed, set apart, to do and not to do as God’s words commands.

The problem we face in America and around the world is similar to the one that Jesus faces.  There are churches on every corner; however, the salvation message that most people hear is not the Gospel He came teaching.  The message that is being preached now by the mainstream Christian is that of a cheap grace.   The world has never before seen an age when so many people are claiming the name of being a Christian as they are claiming today.  But sad to say, among the great majority of these professing Christians, the “virtues of Christ” cannot be found.

By “cheap grace” we refer to the misconception that Salvation through the grace of God does not necessitate our trying to live a sinless life.   By not having to give up our old ways, but becoming a new creature, (2 Corinthians 5:17-18; Galatians 6:15).  How would continuing in sin compare with the effects of God’s grace so evident in the lives of the early Christians?  “This Grace is so evident in the lives of the early Christians,” (Acts 4:33).
