CONCLUSION
 
 

Realizing that salvation is something that takes place in a moment, we must also realize that there is a sequence of events. As a house is built one phase at a time, and each phase depends on the prior, so salvation is built one concept upon another. Without this sequence, there cannot be salvation. For example you cannot have salvation until the step of belief has been made.
 
 

When I was teaching, the final test for this section was to graphically present this process for the purpose of making overlays for an overhead projector.
