Do you desire righteousness?

With the fourth beatitude we have reached a major turning point. The first two exemplified a turning away from our human weakness and sin, while the third expressed the Christian’s humility in light of that weakness. The fourth, by way of contrast, is a turning toward the positive aspect of Christianity. It is a hungering and thirsting to be right with God and to be like Him. Thus the Christian life is more than a mourning over past sins. It is also an intense desire for present and future righteousness. Excerpt from Turn your Eyes Upon Jesus by George R. Knight

What a defining point for our relationship with God: We must desire righteousness!

The Scriptures are a Love Letter from God to those who accept Jesus as their personal Savior. You will receive comfort, knowledge, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

About Us

Steps 2 Success with Spiritual Solutions is a Bible-based Ministry.

“Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12).

We believe in the Proclamations of the Three Angels Messages found in Revelation 14:6-11.

We believe in the Triune God who is God, the Father, Jesus, God, His Son, and God,the Holy Spirit.

We believe in the Plan of Salvation and that we are forgiven of our sins. And we strive to live as those who are forgiven by giving up our sinful desires and submitting our will to God through humility, obedience, diligent prayer and consistent study of the Bible, the Word of God.

We believe Redemption mandated that Divinity become humanity; Redemption required the death of Jesus and the shedding of his blood on the cross that we may have Eternal life.

We believe in the Second Coming of Jesus.

We believe that immortality will be received at Jesus’ Second Coming and not when an individual dies.

We believe that Satan, evil angels, and the wicked will be destroyed by fire. Malachi 4:1

We believe in the entire Bible and that all scripture was written under the inspiration of God.

We believe in the Fourth commandment which tells us that the 7th Day, Saturday is the Sabbath. God blessed the Creation Sabbath and it is Holy. In Genesis, a day is identified as the evening and the morning, therefore, we observe the Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

We believe that humanity was created in the image of God and that we are to love God and to love each other as God loves us.

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God is to believe Jesus died, was raised on the third day, and is now in heaven serving as our Heavenly Intercessor.
