Have Faith

The New Testament tells the good news of Jesus Christ—that salvation depends on accepting Him as our Savior by Faith. Salvation is made possible only through Christ. The First step to salvation is believing this. Carefully read these verses that teach this important truth:

  • But as many as received Him [Jesus], to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name (John 1:12)
  • For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shouldnnot perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)
  • Nor is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men bynwhich we must be saved (Acts 4:12)

We must do more than believe in Jesus, however, we must also express our belief in Jesus as the Christ and the One who rescues us from sin. The Apostle Paul wrote:

  • 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 (Romans 10:9)

Sin leads to death, but God sent Jesus into the world to deliverer us from our sins and from God’s wrath upon sinners:

  • He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son will not see life, but wrath of God abides on him (John 3:36)

The Gospel of John was written as a record of the many wonderful things Jesus said and did while he lived on this earth. This gospel gives us a basis for believing in Him:

  • These are written that you may believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name (John 20:31)

But what is faith, exactly? 

Faith is confidence and trust in the reality of God and in the work of salvation He has completed on our behalf through Christ, as taught in the Bible. Therefore, we are called to believe that Jesus is Christ and God’s Son---and that by His death, burial, and resurrection, we are forgiven of our sins and welcomed into His Eternal Kingdom. Will you believe this great truth? If so, you can be saved.
