Do I have things correct?

[z88]

Do I have these things concerning belief correct? All my sins were placed on Jesus and he died for those things (along with everybody else's sins). God killed him for these sins of mine and for everybody else's sins (Isaiah 53:10 KJV - "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him"). Belief in this and that he rose from the dead and that he is God and the Son of God means I believe on his name. Belief on his name constitutes salvation.

 

1 John 5:13
King James Version
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

 

My understanding would be that his name would be the things relevant to him that are true. So the things I laid out would constitute "his name".

1Co 15:1  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The things to believe are pretty simple. What may be difficult is that the word in Greek (pistis) for believe means more than an acknowledgement of a historical fact. There is a trusting that grows in one as one is more and more convinced of the truth of what Jesus did  Being able to see truth is a key to humility. Humility can allow faith to grow.

I think Romans 10 has the best description of what to do. Believe God raised him from the dead, and confess that he is your lord. I know people who say they believe, but don't seem to turn everything over to his lordship. I worry about and pray for those folks for I was once that way myself.

Realizing that our desire for self-gratification in a perverted pleasure of fulfillment and what it cost God should have brought repentance of what we were, spiritually dead soulish creatures... The fact that God loved us to provide newness of life became in us a new man by entrance of Holy Spirit into our being... if no such repentance occurred should bring concern
Mark 2:17 (KJV)

[17] When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Acts 11:18 (KJV)

[18] When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

Acts 26:20 (KJV)

[20] But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

2 Corinthians 7:10 (KJV)

[10] For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

2 Timothy 2:25 (KJV)

[25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
