Turning to Christ
Faith, Repentance, and the Grace That Saves

What does it truly mean to turn to Christ?
Is salvation simply believing—or is there more?
What is the relationship between faith, repentance, and grace? Does faith earn salvation? What does repentance actually look like? Why is God’s grace essential from beginning to end?

In a world filled with religious confusion, self-effort, and competing voices, the message of the gospel remains both simple and profound: God calls sinners to turn to His Son and receive life.

In this fifth volume of the Steps of Faith: A Journey to Salvation series, Dr. Ed Grefiel explores one of the most important questions a person can ever ask: How do we truly respond to the gospel?

With biblical clarity and pastoral warmth, this book guides readers through the nature of saving faith, the depth of genuine repentance, and the power of God’s grace. It carefully distinguishes between receiving salvation and attempting to earn it, showing that salvation is neither achieved through human effort nor sustained by personal merit, but is fully accomplished by Christ and received through faith.

Inside these pages, you will discover:

• Why the gospel calls every person to turn to Christ
• What saving faith is—and what it is not
• The difference between faith that receives and faith that attempts to earn
• Why repentance is more than regret or self-punishment
• How faith and repentance relate to one another
• The role of grace in enabling and sustaining our response
• How Old Testament and New Testament believers were saved by the same gracious God
• The assurance that comes from resting in Christ rather than in feelings
• The evidence of genuine conversion and transformed living
• How believers continue walking in faith and repentance throughout the Christian life

This book addresses difficult and practical questions such as:

• What if my faith is weak?
• Can I repent later?
• What if I fail after believing?
• How do I know my repentance is genuine?
• Can someone hear the gospel many times and still be lost?

More than a theological study, this book is a pastoral invitation to encounter the heart of the gospel.
It is not a call to religion.
It is not a call to moral self-improvement.
It is not a call to earn God’s acceptance.
It is a call to Christ.

Whether you are seeking truth for the first time, wrestling with questions about salvation, longing for assurance, helping others understand the gospel, or desiring to grow deeper in your walk with God, Turning to Christ will help you rediscover the beauty of God’s saving grace and the simplicity of the gospel invitation.

Grace calls.
Christ saves.
Faith receives.
Repentance turns.
Life begins.
The invitation still stands.
The gate remains open.
The cross still points the way.

Turn to Christ—and live.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Ed Grefiel is a Servant of the Lord, pastor, teacher, preacher, writer, composer, and Christian speaker committed to proclaiming Christ clearly and leading God's children into a deeper understanding of salvation through the truth of Scripture. He holds a Doctor of Divinity degree and a Master's degree in Theology and has devoted years to biblical teaching, discipleship, worship ministry, and Christ-centered instruction.He is the author of multiple theological and devotional works focused on salvation, grace, mercy, discipleship, redemption, and the finished work of Christ. His writings seek to address difficult spiritual questions with biblical clarity while guiding readers toward repentance, restoration, truth, and faith in Jesus Christ.In 2014, during a season of prayer and reflection, Dr. Grefiel experienced a vivid dream that deeply impressed upon his heart the urgency of proclaiming the message of salvation. In the dream, a radiant and weighty helmet was placed upon his head, bringing to mind the biblical "helmet of salvation." While not viewed as equal to Scripture or as new revelation, the experience became a personal call to teach the gospel with greater clarity, faithfulness, and urgency.Dr. Grefiel's writings are grounded in the conviction that Scripture interprets Scripture and that the Word of God remains the final authority for truth, doctrine, salvation, and Christian life. Central to his ministry is the declaration of Christ: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away." (Matthew 24:35).Through preaching, writing, worship, and ministry, he continues to encourage believers to stand firmly in the truth of God's Word and walk faithfully with Christ.
