Discover the will of God for you (5)

God Wants To Be Known (Cont)

Now that you know that Jesus is God, the beginning of discovering the will of God for you is to enter into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The most important sovereign will of God is to believe in Jesus Christ

How Can You Enter Into This Relationship With Jesus Christ?

“But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith, which we preach). 9: That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10: For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 12: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him,” Rom 10:8-10,12.

Have you ever been asked, “How do I become a Christian?” These verses give you the beautiful answer — salvation is as close as your own mouth and heart. People think it must be a complicated process, but it is not. If we believe in our hearts and say with our mouths that Christ is the risen Lord, we will be saved.
What Exactly Does It Mean To “Believe In Jesus Christ?”

“Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31: So they said: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household,” Acts 16:30,31.

“What must I do to be saved … Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ” This is the most important question one can ask. The apostles’ response is: “Believe on the Lord Jesus,”(v.31).

1• To believe in the Lord Jesus is to focus our faith and commitment on the person of Christ. It means turning to Him as a living person who is our Redeemer from sin, our Saviour from damnation and the Lord of our lives. It means believing that He is the Son of God sent by the Father and that all He said is true and authoritative for our lives. It means believing that He forgives our sins, makes us His children, gives us the Holy Spirit, and is present with us always to help, guide, comfort and to lead us to heaven.

2• Saving faith is much more than believing truths about Christ. It causes us to draw near to Him, remain in Him, and to commit our troubled lives to Him with assurance that He, His Word and the Spirit will lead us through this life to the Father’s eternal presence.

“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life,” 1Jn 5:20.
