What is the first step in salvation according to Romans 3:23?
According to Romans 3:23, the first step in salvation is believing what Scripture says about oneself—that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. It is taking God at His Word concerning myself, recognizing that I am what the book says I am, and doing so by faith.
Les teaches that Romans 3:23 declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” He says this is the first step in salvation: to believe that I am what the book says I am—short of the glory of God. It is taking God at His Word concerning myself and concerning you. Faith is what guides us not only into salvation but all through our Christian experience, based on what the book says, not what someone else says. When people get into the book and see what it says by faith, they take appropriate action.
