So do you believe?

  So do you believe?

The apostle Paul writes,

“But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” Titus 3:4,5.

The apostle Paul makes it clear here that it is through the mercy of God that we are saved. Through the Gods grace. In Ephesians 2:8,9 Paul notes,

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9.

Christians believe that God in his mercy reached down to mankind through Jesus Christ and offered salvation to all who would believe in Jesus.

It is the Christian view that we cannot live a life good enough to get into heaven. Nor can we work our way to heaven.

The way Christians believe we get to heaven is simple. The apostle Paul telling us,

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9-10

So do you believe Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from the dead?

Please think about it.
