Subject: Where is "accept Christ" in the Bible? |
Bible Note: I think the point of this discussion is not so much to find the exact word "accept Christ" in the Bible. But what is it referring to when someone uses it in everyday conversation. One must be "Born Again" in order to be saved. Jesus said that.. In order to born again, a person must first realize he is lost, admit he is a sinner, and confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and Master of his life. I believe acceptance of who Jesus was and what he did for us is necessary for a person to truly confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord. I also believe a person has to accept that the sacrifice Jesus made was for him (or her) and that that person can truly be saved. That's how I feel the term "accept Christ" came into being. It simply means to accept the Man and his sacrifice for you and upon doing so, BIBICALLY follow what Romans tells us and confess he is Lord. |
