God draws us to Christ

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:44)

We turn away from our own attempts to save ourselves and put our trust in the atoning blood of Christ.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31)

We repent of our sins, renouncing our former way of life.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38)

We are baptized in water in obedience to God.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:16)

This is the manner in which we begin the program of salvation. We have found the gate to eternal life and now the race through the many obstacles begins.
