The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; • 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. • 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT JESUS

  14. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. • 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. • 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT JESUS

  15. The Bible says that Jesus is fully God (John 1.1) • The Bible says that Jesus is fully human (John 1.14) • The Bible says that Jesus died for our sins and rose again from the dead (1 Cor. 15.3-4) WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT JESUS

  16. Salvation: becoming born again (or being made righteous) by faith does not occur by: • Feeling guilty • Telling God everything you have ever done wrong • Going to church • Turning from evil ways • Any work or religious act • Making Jesus “Lord” SALVATION
