Steps to Christ concentrates on God's inclusive love for His people and His merciful nature. Ellen White addresses how we can all be saved by grace and how we can become better Christians. She dedicates each chapter to describe ways to get closer to God, following a set of steps that require higher and higher dedication and more understanding of God's wisdom; Steps that will lead you to God; Steps to Christ.

In my opinion, the most critical points the author presents in Steps to Christ are the ones dealing with Repentance and with Doubt. Repentance is a delicate matter because it relates to the fact that some people might think that they are repenting from their sins when in fact they are just doing it out of fear of being punished; they are not truly lamenting the sins that they committed; they lament the suffering that will take place because of their sins.

The second Critical point of this book is the chapter that deals with Doubt because one can never be certain about everything and there are a lot of things th

The seventh chapter of the book, "The test of discipleship," refers to new Disciples of Christ or new believers. The Holy Spirit works quietly but its results can be clearly noticed. The new followers of Christ change the way they behave and act towards others through the purifying power of the Holy Spirit and start showing the "loveliness of the character of Christ." God's Character is also demonstrated through his law, for it was the "foundation of His government in heaven and earth." (White 40)

The first chapter of the book, "God's Love for Man, was written to show us the quality of God's love. It illustrates the inclusiveness and the acceptance presented to us by God and how we can just look around us and to the nature that surrounds us to understand a little more about God and his mercy. We learn that even though we are sinners, separated from God by "breaking his rule of love," we receive blessings at every moment. "God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son..." Jesus, the one and only Son of God, that was once "one" with God, was brought to earth to feel the burden of our own sins. That is how much God loves us, his children, and his kingdom. (John 3:16)

The eighth chapter of the book, "Growing Up Into Christ," states that without God there is no life, and nothing has life. According to Ellen White, we depend on Christ for everything, without him we are nothing. Therefore, we should choose to live and grow into Christ, looking up to him as the greatest model of righteousness and depending on him to give us this righteousness in exchange for the burden of our sins that He is carrying.

The ninth chapter of the book, "The Work and the Life," shows that when we have love for Christ we cannot keep it to ourselves; the power of the Holy Spirit works through us to send Jesus' message everywhere we go and we become disciples of God's love and when we have this passion burning inside we also want to work for Christ and do things that would benefit his cause and his love.

The third chapter of the book, "Repentance," describes how we should repent from our sins. It shows us the difference between true repentance and repentance lead by the fear of punishment for transgression. Jesus can restore and cleanse all those who want to be purified and recognize that this can only be done through Him and in Him. The author also mentions that the Holy Spirit also moves those who do not know of the power of God but understand the wickedness of their sins. The more we learn
