Often times the event of accepting Christ into your life gets overcomplicated. Other times, becoming a follower of Christ is confused with living the Christian life. As the old saying goes, "let's not get the cart before the horse."
Becoming a Christ-follower, a disciple of Christ is described in Romans 10:9-13:
[9] because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. [11] For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” [12] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. [13] For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
It's really about the ABC's of salvation:
A-Admit that you are separated from God by sin, and you are lost without Christ.
B-Believe that God raised Jesus from the dead.
C-Confess that Jesus is Lord.
If you are willing to admit, believe, and confess the above, you can be saved. So, here is the question; "if you were standing before God and He asked, "why should I let you into my Kingdom?" What would you say? God is ready for you to admit, believe, and confess. Will you?
Please feel free to call me, email me, or text me with any questions you have, or decisions that you have made. I would like to discuss your decision and what the next steps are for you to continue in this new journey with Christ.
