BelieveonJesus

Believe on Jesus Christ (who is God and Lord). To believe on means to have faith and trust in Jesus Christ to save you. Also believe/trust that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day. Believe on Jesus Christ is supported by John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”. You are believing on Jesus for eternal life not only that Jesus (who is God) exists. Faith in Lord Jesus to save you saves and is supported by Ephesians 2:8-9 8 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast”. Ephesians 2:8-9 also show that it is not works that saves. Being obedient to Jesus Christ is to believe on him. Paul mentions that works do not save and it is of faith. If we had to do more then Jesus sacrifice was not limitless. What Jesus did was enough to cover all future sins. Once saved always saved. I included trust in Jesus Christ to save you because trust and believe are used interchangeably in the bible so believe on Jesus means to have trust in Jesus to save you. Ephesians 1:12-13 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, In regards to Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again, you are saved by believing/trusting this according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Notes: I believe Jesus is God, do not get caught up whether or not Jesus is God or Son of God when it comes to your salvation. I believe you need to believe/know certain facts about Jesus Christ in order to actually have faith and trust in Jesus to save you. (There may be exceptions). You should believe/trust that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again. You probably need to know that Jesus is God and Lord as well as you need to know Jesus can actually save you. By believing/trusting these facts you know that Jesus is God who is loving and can save people. If you believe the bible to be true(at least the parts regarding salvation, then you believe that believe on Jesus Christ saves. You already know you were/are a sinner and the penalty of sin if you are believe on Jesus Christ. You repent when you believe on Jesus Christ to save you. Also when you put your faith and trust in Lord Jesus to save you. Check out Good Hope and Gregg Jackson YouTube videos for more on how to be saved.

I would like to say that it is not works but faith that saves. Water baptism is a work. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. You cannot repent of your sins because we all continue to sin. You can repent which you do when you believe on Jesus and have faith in Lord Jesus to save you. Is declaring with your mouth that Jesus is Lord a work? I refrain from using the declaration of mouth that Jesus is Lord for this reason in what is required for salvation. The second part of believing Jesus rose from the dead we should all believe. I think that just because we call Jesus Lord does not mean we have to do what he has told us to do. At least not for salvation. If you are saved and want to follow as best you can what Jesus said to do and not to do then I agree when considering him as Lord.

Believe on Jesus Christ(who is God). Have faith and trust in Lord Jesus to save you. You should believe the gospel that Jesus died for our sins and spilled blood washes away our sins, was buried and rose again three days later. I included the blood of Jesus because it is important.
