LIGHT FOR THE NOW: If you don’t believe you cannot receive.
The ‘How’ of Salvation is ‘Believe’; it is a belief system. It addresses the question How were you saved? Or How is salvation attained? Jesus Christ while addressing the Jews on His authority for miraculous works and His claims as the Son of God, made it known to them that God had given Him the power to heal, raise dead and to execute judgement. Furthermore, jesus Christ made it publicly known to the Jews that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. At this juncture, Jesus cleared the air on‘the How of salvation’. He stated‘He that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me … is passed from death unto life’ (John 5:1-27). If you don’t believe you cannot receive. Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish. John 5:24. He that hears my words and believes me has everlasting life and shall pass from death to life. Belief system functions in hearing.
You must consciously believe in Christ. John 3:36 says ‘He that believes on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him’. He came and His own did not receive Him. But as many as receive Him, to them gave he the power to become his son, even to them that believe (John 1:11-12). Salvation is not you going to God. Salvation is God coming to you. He went to His people; His people did not go to Him. Rom 10:6-8. You have no work to do in order to be saved. You just need to believe. The Word of Faith that we preach is Believe. This text does not indicate that we have to confess our sin in order to be saved! You need only to confess the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him up. This is salvation – you are saved!
In Christyou live, move, and have your being. Thinking otherwise shows that you doubt the Scripture, you doubt Christ and you doubt your salvation. Christ was made our sin, and we were made His righteousness(2 Corinthian 5:21). Confess the Lord Jesus Christ with your mouth. Whosoever believes in Him shall not see shame (Romans 10:10-11). Praise the Lord!!!
INSTRUCTION: Confess the Lordship of the resurrected and highly exalted Jesus Christ.
PRAYER: I believe that
Christ died me, and was raised the third day, in Jesus name.
QUOTE: Salvation is in confessing Christ Jesus.
