      THE STEPS TO FREEDOM IN CHRIST

      THE WHOLE GOSPEL

      God created Adam and Eve to be spiritually alive, which means that their souls were in union with God. Living in a dependent relationship with their heavenly Father, they were to exercise dominion over the earth. Acting independently of God, they chose to disobey Him and their choice to sin separated them from God. Consequently, all their descendants are born physically alive but spiritually dead—separated from God. Since we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (see Romans 3:23), we remain separated from Him and cannot fulfill the original purpose for our creation, which is to glorify God and enjoy His presence forever. Satan became the rebel holder of authority and the god of this world. Jesus referred to him as the ruler of this world, and the apostle John wrote that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one (see 1 John 5:19).

      Jesus came to undo the works of Satan (see 1 John 3:8) and to take upon Himself the sins of the world. By dying for our sins, Jesus removed the enmity that existed between God and those He created in His image. The resurrection of Christ brought new life to those who put their trust in Him. Every born-again believer’s soul is again in union with God and that is most often communicated in the New Testament as being in Christ, or in Him. The apostle Paul explained that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation (see 2 Corinthians 5:17). The apostle John wrote, But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name (John 1:12), and he also wrote, See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are (1 John 3:1).

      No amount of effort on your part can save you and neither can any religious activity no matter how well intentioned. We are saved by faith and by faith alone. All that remains for us to do is put our trust in the finished work of Christ. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have never received Christ, you can do so right now. God knows the thoughts and intentions of your heart, so all you have to do is put your trust in God alone. You can express your decision in prayer as follows:

      Dear Heavenly Father, thank
