In the Four Steps, which step means to Accept and personally apply our relationship to Christ?

• A. Reckon
• B. Know
• C. Yield
• D. Obey

Answer: (A)

This item tests how you personally grasp and apply your relationship with Christ. Reckon means to count something as true for you and to apply it in daily life. It’s the moment you take the truth of your relationship with Christ and treat it as real in you—standing on it, living by it, and making choices in light of it. Romans 6:11 illustrates this idea, urging believers to reckon themselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus, which is about personal appropriation of that relationship.

Know is about factual understanding, not personal application. Yield is about surrendering to God’s will, which comes after you accept the truth. Obey involves acting in obedience, the outward expression that follows the internal acceptance. The step that best captures accepting and personally applying the relationship is reckoning.
