Recognize that being a good person doesn’t make you a believer,
for God’s Word declares,
“There is no one that does good, no, not one” (Rom 3:12)
Recognize that doing the best you can doesn’t make you a believer,
for God’s Word declares,
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23)
and the Bible also tells us the cost of our sin:
- “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
Recognize that you are not a believer because you are a member of a church, shul , congregation or synagogue for again God’s Word declares that many have
“a form of Godliness, but deny the power thereof; from such turn away” (2 Tim 3:5)
Confess that you are a sinner in God’s sight, for you have broken His commandments, and all the world has become guilty before Him. (Rom 3:19)
Confess that you cannot save yourself, for
“by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;” (Eph 2:8)
Confess that you are hopelessly lost and under condemnation without Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) as your Savior (Luke 19:10).
Believe the Good News that Messiah died for the unGodly. (Rom 5:8).
He therefore died for you and settled your sin debt on Calvary’s cross.
Believe the glorious news that Messiah was raised from the dead, and by the power of God is now able to save all who come unto God by Him (Heb 7:25)
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus, with a sincere desire to be saved from you sins,
for God promised that ‘whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ (Rom 10:13)
Rely on God’s sure promise, not upon your feelings, and by faith declare you are saved by the Faith in the redemption of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), and openly confess Him with your mouth as your Savior and Lord (Rom 10:9-10).
- “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
(Ephesians 2:8-9)”
