Bible Question:
I have heard numerous, “well meaning people”; say that in order to become a born again believer one must invite Jesus into their heart and make Jesus the Lord of their life. Where are the actual verses, which require those functions, found in the Bible? Or are some trying to direct unbelievers into a course action that is not supported by Scripture and thus giving them a false hope? John 20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: [31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Bible Answer: Dear CDBJ - Have you heard of the Romans Road to salvation? The "Romans Road" refers to a set of scriptures from the book of Romans that Christian evangelists use to present a clear and simple case for personal salvation for each person. They are: Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23a "...The wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23b "...But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:8 "God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!" Romans 10:9,10 "...If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." Romans 10:13 "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved!" Joy, Alienow |
