A Roman Catholic girl seeking the true light happened to be present when I was preaching on the stations of salvation and was convicted of her sins and converted to God. She had been trained since childhood to see truth in this way and by these stations she found the pathway of the Cross and the glorious Saviour.
I had lantern slides made of each of these stations and used one of them at a time as a sermon on salvation, and afterward used the seven stations as the conclusion of the sermon when I wanted to make a personal appeal and urge a heart decision for Christ.
These seven stations of salvation can be used for older heads also.
You will note the cross at the top of each station. This is the great theme of all the stations.
You will also observe the heart beneath the cross containing the words "I believe." This signifies that salvation is an affair of the heart, and not an empty form. In discussing each station ask the people to recite the scripture together. After you have explained these scriptures and commented on the subject of the station, ask your people to repeat with you the prayer of the station, and then pass on to the next station.
The following are the stations in their order:
Station No. 1. Condemnation
Condemnation is the first step. This is an inward sense of sin. We must all feel this, or we shall not be inclined to take the next step.
Station No. 2. Conviction
