How to receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord of your life.
Confess [admit, acknowledge] that Jesus truly is Lord [having ALL power, authority, master, and ruler of Heaven and Earth]
and BELIEVE in your heart that God the Father raised Him from the dead, and He alone is the ONLY way to salvation, you are saved by faith and it is your faith and confession that this is true - you are saved!
Beloved,
welcome to the Family of God.
If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)
Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him. Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith, as you were taught. And be filled with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6-7)
Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says, ‘The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all.’ Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us. (Acts 4:11-12)
It is through faith that all of you are God’s children in union with Christ Jesus. You were baptized into union with Christ, and now you are clothed, so to speak, with the life of Christ himself. (Galatians 3:26-27)
We were God’s enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son. Now that we are God’s friends, how much more will we be saved by Christ’s life! But that is not all; we rejoice because of what God has done through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has now made us God’s friends. (Romans 5:10-11)
