The Three Steps

 

 

Gods plan for salvation is as easy as the sanctuary. The sanctuary is a complete system of the Christianity/ salvation plan. It consists of three stages: the outer court yard, the holy place, and the most holy place. Through these three stages any Christian should be able to know where they are and were there going!

Before a person can be “joined with the sanctuary” in their Christian walk  they simply have  to acknowledge  Christ working in their life, and have  a desire to change. Then and only then will they enter in to the outer court yard of their journey, this step is know as the conversion step or the new birth, where a persons desires are changed, but it doesn’t just drastically change over night its an on going process.  Romans 13:14 Instead clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires. This is where a person is baptized and gives their life to Jesus. Where a person confesses there wrong doings and sets out to do better.

Step two: the Holy place, this is a continuation on the path that a person starts in the court yard. So we call this the progressive conversion, known also as sanctifying one self. Here we work on building our character. We are tested and tried; this in conclusion reveals our true character. By the end of this step we shall have somewhat gained victory over sin. This happens because of  following Christ so closely that his ways are in- printed on our lives that may be able accept his help and have victory over our sin……but the temptations to sin will still be there, perhaps stronger than ever.

The Most Holy Place is where it all comes together. It starts with the investigative judgment; rather, even before you enter into the most holy place this judgment is started. So then when we enter into the most holy place the latter rain occurs which steadily moves us on into the marriage, this is were the perfection of our character occurs and the record of our sins is removed. We then are able to accept Jesus’ pardon and cleansing for our sins and receive the pure garment that he has prepared for us, be cause we no longer have the desire to do evil, or exalt ourselves. God then exchanges us our characters in exchange for his perfect one, but best of all it shows just how much he cares for us, as he simply just hands us this free gift.
