What must I do to be saved?
Kevin Walker
Here's some things you need to understand in order to be
saved.
God created everything.
He made everything out of nothing.
He spoke everything into existence.
God said, “Let there be light, and there was light.”
(Genesis 1:3).
God's word has always been powerful!
God's words are in the Bible.
If we obey them, we will go to heaven.
There is only one God, but there are three persons in
God...the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Salvation is possible through.
- God the Father.
- In giving His Son.
- John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but
have everlasting life.”
- 1 John 4:8-9 “He who does not love does not know God,
for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that
God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live
through Him.”
- In forgiving; Isaiah 38:17 “Indeed it was for my own
peace That I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my
soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind
Your back.”
- God the Son.
- John 10:11, 17-18 “I am the good shepherd. The good
shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” Therefore My Father loves Me,
because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it
from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I
have power to take it again. This command I have received from My
Father.”
- 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For He made Him who knew no sin to
be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
- God the Holy Spirit.
- Through the power of the Word of God we are saved.
- Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who
believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”
- James 1:21 “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and
overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word,
which is able to save your souls.”
- Obedience to the Gospel.
- Only those who obey will be saved.
- Hebrews 5:8-9 “though He was a Son, yet He learned
obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He
became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him”
- Revelation 22:14 “Blessed are those who do His
commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may
enter through the gates into the city.”
- Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes,
for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”
- Acts 2:40 “And with many other words he testified and
exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”
- Those who fail to obey will be lost.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 “and to give you who are troubled
rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty
angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God,
and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the
Lord and from the glory of His power”
- 1 Peter 4:17-18 “For the time has come for judgment to
begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be
the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the
righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner
appear?”
- What we must do to obey.
- Faith
- Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to
please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that
He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
- This faith comes by hearing God's Word; Romans 10:17 “So
then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
- Is faith enough? No. It is the foundation of being
saved, but it is not, in and of itself, a guarantee of a saved
condition. The Bible speaks of many who believed in Jesus but were
obviously not saved.
- In John 12:42, the Bible says, “Nevertheless even among
the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did
not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue”
- James 2:19 says “You believe that there is one God. You
do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!”
- James 2:20, 24 says, “But do you want to know, O
foolish man, that faith without works is dead? You see then that a man
is justified by works, and not by faith only.”
- James here speaks, not of meritorious works that would
earn salvation, but rather of works of obedience. Faith, therefore,
without further obedience, is not enough for a person to be saved.
- Repentance
- Luke 24:46-47 “Then He said to them, “Thus it is
written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise
from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”
- Acts 17:30-31 “Truly, these times of ignorance God
overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He
has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness
by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all
by raising Him from the dead.”
- In Luke 13, Jesus spoke about many who had been killed,
though not necessarily because of sin. But He then said in v3, “I
tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
- To repent is to look at your actions after the fact and
then have a change of mind and then a change of action/direction.
- In Acts chapter 2, Peter declared that the Jews were
responsible for crucifying the Messiah, the Son of God. They were “cut
to the heart” and asked, “What shall we do?” Peter told them in v38
that they needed to repent.
- He also said to those gathered at the temple: “Repent
therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that
times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts
3:19).
- In Acts 17:30, Paul told those at Mars' Hill (in
Athens), “Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now
commands all men everywhere to repent”
- Confession of Jesus as the Son of God.
- Romans 10:10 “For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
- Acts 8:37 “Then Philip said, “If you believe with all
your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God.”
- Baptism
- Mark 16:15-16 “And He said to them, “Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is
baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
- Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let
every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
- There are numerous places in the New Testament that
refer to baptism.
- In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commanded His disciples to go and
baptize all nations.
- In Acts 2:38, as already mentioned, after the people
asked what they needed to do, Peter said, “let every one of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins”
- Verse 41 says “Then those who gladly received his word
were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to
them.”
- In Acts 22:16, Ananias told Saul, “And now why are you
waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the
name of the Lord”
- The Bible teaches that salvation is only through
Christ, the Son of God (John 14:6; 1 John 5:11-13).
- It also teaches that we put on Christ through baptism.
- In Galatians 3:27, Paul says, “For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”
- Paul reminds Christians in Romans 6:3-4 that “Or do you
not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were
baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through
baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
- He says that just as Christ died, was buried, and was
raised again, so also we “through baptism [are raised to] walk in
newness of life.”
- 1 Corinthians 12:13 teaches the same thing: “For by one
Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks,
whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.”
- 1 Peter 3:20-21 says, “who formerly were disobedient, when
once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark
was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved
through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism
(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good
conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ”
- When were they saved in Acts Chapter 2?
- Acts 2 is one of the most fascinating chapters in the
Bible. It records the events of the day of Pentecost just a few weeks
after the crucifixion of Jesus. As John the Baptist and Jesus had both
promised (Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:5), the apostles were filled with the
Holy Spirit and were given the miraculous ability to speak in languages
they had not previously known.
- Peter then proceeds to preach one of the great sermons
of all time to the thousands who had gathered there in Jerusalem. Peter
concludes his sermon with these words, “Therefore let all the house of
Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified,
both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36).
- Peter's sermon accomplished its purpose as we see the
people “cut to the heart” and asking him and the other apostles, “Men
and Brethren, what shall we do?” They believed what Peter had said in
his sermon; they were convinced and convicted of their sin of rejecting
and killing Jesus. Peter's response to them in Acts 2:38 was, “Repent,
and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins”
- At what point were they saved? They had listened to
Peter and had come to believe that they had, in fact, crucified the Son
of God. It was at this point that they believed. But was that belief
enough to save them?
- Apparently not, or else Peter would have answered their
question by saying something like: “There is nothing you need to do
now; you're already saved because of your belief. Go and try to live
for Christ now.” But that is not what Peter said.
- In verse 38, Peter first told them they needed to
repent. To repent means to turn around and change directions. For the
people listening to Peter, it meant to turn away from their sin and
their fight against Jesus; they needed to turn to Him and accept Him
and His way of life.
- Would then their faith coupled with repentance be all
that was needed for salvation?
- No, because Peter also told them to be baptized for the
remission of their sins. In fact, it is clear that they were still not
saved before baptism because in verse 40 Peter kept preaching, saying “Be
saved from this perverse generation.”
- But then we come to verse 41: “Then those who gladly
received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand
souls were added to them.” Verse 47 goes on to say, “And the Lord added
to the church daily those who were being saved.”
- At what point were they saved? It could not be said
much clearer than what it says in verse 41. They were baptized and were
then added to the Lord's church. The Bible teaches that it was at the
point of baptism that they came into a saved relationship with the
Lord.
- Romans 10:10 “For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
- Acts 8:37 “Then Philip said, “If you believe with all
your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God.”
- Some people claim that in Acts 2:21, when Peter said: “And
it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall
be saved.” means that saying a prayer will save you.
- Does saying a prayer save you? Right after Peter
made the statement that “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”,
he preached the gospel in verses 22-36.
- When the Jews were "cut to the heart" and
asked Peter and the rest of the Apostles "Men and brethren, what
shall we do?" in Acts 2:37 Peter told them HOW one "calls on
the name of the Lord" when he said in Acts 2:38, “Repent, and let
every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins”.
- Peter cleared up any DOUBT on this matter when he told
them to “Be saved from this perverse generation” in Acts 2:40.
- Those who "gladly received his word were
baptized" Acts 2:41 and this is HOW one "calls on the name of
the Lord".
- This is also shown to be true in Acts 22:16 when
Ananias told Saul, “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized,
and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”
- In other words, one submits to baptism in order to have
forgiveness and in knowing one’s sins are forgiven, a clear conscience.
- Obedience in faith is our appeal to God, in which God
responds by forgiving sins and offering a cleansed conscience.
- This is done by the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:14), and
baptism is where Christ’s blood is contacted.
- The blood of Christ CLEANSES our Conscience (Hebrews
9:14) since it is "for the remission of sins" (Matthew
26:28).
- Baptism in water is the ANSWER of a GOOD Conscience (1
Peter 3:21) since it is "for the remission of sins" (Acts
2:38).
- Baptism saves because of its relation to the death,
burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not a cleansing of the
body, it is a cleansing of the soul, a cleansing of the conscience by
the power of Christ's resurrection. “Or do you not know that as many of
us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just
as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united
together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in
the likeness of His resurrection” (Romans 6:3-5).
- Baptism is essential for salvation because God has
ordained that our union with the death, burial and resurrection of
Christ is accomplished through baptism.
- When someone says that salvation is possible through
faith in Christ without baptism, he is not speaking the truth because
he thereby proves that he does not believe Christ. Jesus said: "He
who believes and is baptized will be saved," but he does not
believe what Jesus said.
- Once we have obeyed the gospel for the “remission of our
sins”, we must remain Faithful.
- We are to add certain characteristics to our lives.
- 2 Peter 1:5-11 “But also for this very reason, giving
all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to
knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance
godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness
love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither
barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he
who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has
forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren,
be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do
these things you will never stumble; or so an entrance will be supplied
to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.”
- Galatians 5:22-25 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in
the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
- We must continue in the work of the Lord.
- James 1:21-25 “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and
overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word,
which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the
word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a
mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets
what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of
liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of
the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
- Philippians 1:27 “Only let your conduct be worthy of the
gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may
hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind
striving together for the faith of the gospel”
- 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be
steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing
that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
- We must remain faithful no matter what.
- Matthew 10:22 “And you will be hated by all for My
name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
- Matthew 24:13 “But he who endures to the end shall be
saved.”
- Revelation 2:10 “Do not fear any of those things which
you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you
into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten
days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
- Revelation 3:5 “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white
garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I
will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”
- We must use our Talents.
- Our purpose in life is to glorify God.
- Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is
the whole duty of man.”
- Acts 17:27-28 “so that they should seek the Lord, in the
hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far
from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as
also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’”
- We are to use our abilities to God's glory.
- 1 Peter 4:10 “As each one has received a gift, minister
it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
- 1 Corinthians 4:2 “Moreover it is required in stewards
that one be found faithful.”
- Failure to use our talents will cause us to be lost.
- Matthew 25:14-30
- Observe especially verse 30 “And cast the unprofitable
servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.”
- We must treat our brethren right.
- We are to love our brethren.
- Hebrews 13:1 “Let brotherly love continue.”
- 1 John 4:20-21 “If someone says, “I love God,” and hates
his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he
has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this
commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his
brother also.”
- This love will cause us to act in a certain way toward
them.
- Matthew 7:12 “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to
you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
- Galatians 6:10 “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let
us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of
faith.”
- We will not gossip, backbite, nor do other things that
will cause harm to our brethren.
- We must love God completely.
- We are to love God with our entire being.
- Matthew 22:34-40 “But when the Pharisees heard that He
had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a
lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which
is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘you shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second
is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
- Luke 10:25-28 “And behold, a certain [a]lawyer stood up
and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal
life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading
of it?” So he answered and said, “‘you shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all
your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”And He said to him, “You
have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”
- God must come first in our life.
- Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
- Revelation 2:4-5 “Nevertheless I have this against you,
that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you
have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you
quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.”
Conclusion:
If we are
going to believe Jesus and believe in Him then we are going to have to believe
His teachings. If we are going to believe Jesus Christ then we have to believe
it all.
We can't
pick and choose what we want to believe and what we don't want to believe.
We can't
accept Jesus as our savior and king but refuse His teachings.
Jesus
Christ said Himself “But
why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?”
Then He
went on to teach the parable of the foolish builder who failed to obey, thus
building his house on a sandy and uncertain foundation and the wise builder,
who because of obedience built his house on the rock in Luke 6:47-49.
Do we
believe Jesus' teaching about the wise and the foolish builders? If we reject
Jesus teaching then we obviously don't believe Him. How can we believe in
Jesus but not believe His teachings? We cannot believe what we want and reject
the rest. It doesn't work that way.
If we are
going to believe in Jesus then we must believe all of His instructions. In the
account of the wise and foolish builders as recorded by Matthew, Jesus
introduced the parable by saying “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in
heaven.” (Matthew 7:21).
People
who simply believe that Jesus is who He said He is will cry "Lord,
Lord". They know who He is. They know what He did for us, they know and
believe in Him for who He is. But those who fail to obey Him believe in the
man but not in His teachings.
Jesus
taught in the parables of the wise and foolish builders that only those who do
His will have built their houses on the Rock. Jesus said that. Do you believe
Him? Do you believe He meant what He said in Matthew 7:21? If you do not
believe that, then you are guilty of unbelief.
Jesus
taught in John 3:18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does
not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.”
Do you
believe Jesus taught that? If anyone rejects this teaching of Jesus then they
are guilty of unbelief.
Jesus
taught in Matthew 10:32-33, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will
also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before
men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”
Do you
believe we must confess Jesus before men in order to be confessed by Jesus
before God the Father?
Do you
believe that Jesus meant that when He said it. If you do, then you cannot
believe in salvation by faith only because faith only has no room for any act
of obedience whatsoever.
Salvation
by faith only is either salvation without nothing but faith or belief, or it
isn't.
There is
no middle ground. Either you believe Jesus requires the act of confession or
you don't. And if you don't believe confession is required then you do not
believe something Jesus taught and are therefore guilty of unbelief.
Jesus
taught in Luke 13:3, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all
likewise perish.”
Do you
believe we must repent in order to be saved? Can we continue in our sinful
lives and live without repentance and expect a home in heaven? If you believe
we must repent then salvation cannot be by faith only.
Because
salvation by faith only has no room for action. Repenting is doing something.
If we are saved by faith only then we can be saved without repentance.
Do you
believe Jesus' teaching that we must repent? If you do not and you insist that
our salvation is by faith only then you do not believe something Jesus
instructed and are therefore guilty of unbelief.
Jesus
taught in Mark 16:16, “He
who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be
condemned.”
Do you
believe Jesus? Do you believe everything He instructed? If you do believe
Jesus then you must believe that baptism is necessary in order to be saved.
If you do
not believe that baptism is necessary then you fall into the second group of
individuals mentioned by Jesus in Mark 16:16, those who do not believe are
under condemnation and will not be saved.
We
already know from Jesus teaching on confession and repentance that salvation is
not by faith only. Why would baptism be any different? If you are not
baptized then you do not believe and will be condemned.
We cannot
claim Jesus as our savior and claim we believe in Him if we do not believe His
instructions. If we do not believe His instructions then we do not believe
Him. Those who do not believe Jesus do not believe in Him either.
Belief of
Jesus for who He is and belief in Him cannot be separated. We cannot reject
His instructions and believe in Jesus.
The
parallel verse for Mark 16:16 is Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
Baptism
is a command, it is a divine instruction from the very words of Jesus Christ.
The baptism here is the baptism that can be administered by man and the one
that can be submitted to in obedience. Jesus commanded it, you must therefore
ask yourself, do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you believe in what He
taught? Do you believe Jesus?
Jesus isn't done instructing us yet.
Salvation is not by faith only. Salvation requires belief, repentance,
confession and baptism. That is not faith only. Faith only salvation, if it
were true, would come without any of the above mentioned acts of obedience from
the words of Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus has more instruction to give. We saw
in Matthew 28:19 that Jesus commanded baptism for every man on earth, He wasn't
finished.
He had another instruction on the heels of
baptism. Jesus went on to say, “teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you” (Verse 20). If obedience is commanded surely it is
expected.
When Jesus addressed the church in Smyrna
He gave this instruction, “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the
crown of life.” (Revelation 2:10).
If any Christian in any church anywhere in
the first century had to remain faithful unto death, then they all did. And if
they did, we must be faithful unto death today. John taught that “if we walk
in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7).
This is a conditional statement. John
began the verse with the word IF. In a conditional statement if the condition
is not true then the results will not be forthcoming. If we do not walk in the
light, live faithfully, there will be no fellowship with God. There will be no
ongoing cleansing of sin by the blood of Jesus Christ.
What this means is that salvation is not
by faith or belief only.
Faith saves, no doubt about it. Those who
believe are saved, no doubt about it. But not until that faith or belief has
resulted in obedience to God. Faith saves when and only when faith obeys.
If there is anyone here who believes but
has not obeyed then you are not saved.
By faith the heroes in Hebrews 11 obeyed
and they received the blessings when they obeyed and not a moment before.
By faith, each and every one of YOU must
hear, YOU must listen to the word of God.
By faith YOU must repent of your sins and
turn to Christ.
By faith YOU must confess Jesus Christ as
the Son of God before men.
By faith YOU must submit to baptism into
Jesus Christ in the watery grave of baptism for the remission of YOUR sins.
By faith YOU must live an obedient,
faithful life, walking in the light as Jesus walked, remaining faithful until
our last accountable breath of life on earth.
These instructions came directly from the words
of Jesus in John 12:48, “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has
that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last
day.”
If you do not believe these instructions
then you do not believe Jesus.
Do you believe Him?
Do you believe in Jesus, in what He said
and in what He taught.
Do you really believe Him?
If you believe Him, please come forward as
we stand and sing this song of invitation.
