I came across this article today from John Piper on what someone must believe to be saved. I really like the way he broke down the different beliefs that you need to come to and thought I would display them below:
Piper used two texts as the basis of his article.
Acts 16:31–“And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Romans 10:9–“…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
From these two verses, you can come to the following conclusions on what one needs to believe to be saved:
1. I’m a sinner
2. There is a God
3. I’m under judgement
4. Jesus is the sinless Son of God
5. Jesus died in my place
6. Jesus rose from the dead
