Romans 10:9
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
1. We must repent of our sins. This is not stated here but we must be sorry our sin against God. Confess that we are sinners to God and ask Him to forgive us. Here is a verse stating that:
2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
1 John 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2. After we repent and confess our sin to God, we then confess that Jesus is Lord! Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus is the Savior who took your sins upon the cross and died for you! So you can be right in God's eyes by His shed blood.
3.We also must believe that after Jesus died, he was buried in the tomb and on the third day resurrected from the dead and is ALIVE! If Jesus did not rise from the dead then our faith is dead!
4. Jesus appeared to over 500 people and then ascended back to the Father where He sits at the right hand of God awaiting for God to tel, Him to come and get His children. Those who have put their faith in Jesus the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
For a follower of Jesus there are several things that are musts to be a follower of Jesus:
1. Belief in virgin birth.
2. Belief in Jesus sinless life
3. Belief Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world especially your own.
4. Belief in the resurrection.
5. Belief that Jesus ascended back to the Father.
6. Belief that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to indwell us so God can be with a follower at all times.
7. Belief that Jesus will return to take His followers home and set His Kingdom up to reign forever!
Are you a follower of Jesus? Today is your day if you never have before! Come to Jesus you won't regret it!!
