The Way

The Way
The apostle Paul wrote,
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.  
As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”  
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,  for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”Romans 10:9-13.
Here is a clear statement by the apostle Paul of what Christians believe. He said,
“...if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
It I know is a hard decision to make for some people. To believe that Jesus is all he said he is, Lord and God. God incarnate.
The apostle Paul even notes,
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18.
Still this is a decision all who hear the message of Jesus must decide. Jesus speaking to Martha said,
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;  and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes Lord” she told Him, “I believe you are the Christ the Son of God, who was to come into the world,” John 11:25,26,27.
Martha had seen Jesus in person. She’d heard him speak and seen miracles. She knew beyond a doubt that Jesus was the son of God. Do you?
You can know all about Jesus by reading the New Testament and seeing for yourself what his disciples and others thought of him and why.
If you don’t know Jesus as your Saviour take some time to read the New Testament and make your own mind up.
Please at least think about it.
