What about Public Confession?
Every person who is saved ought to publicly confess Christ. Matthew
10:32 and Romans 10:9 plainly teach that God will claim as His child
any of us who will claim Christ as our Saviour, but we simply
confess with the mouth what we have already trusted in our hearts.
Concerning that very matter Romans 10:10 says:
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation."
To claim Christ as your Saviour simply proves that you trust Him in
the heart. Likewise with all other promises in the Bible about how
to be saved. "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out,"
says John 6:37; and salvation is promised in John 1:12 to as many as
receive Jesus. But you could not come to Christ without trusting
Him, and John 1:12 shows that receiving Jesus is the same as
believing on His name.
Dear sinner, do not make this a difficult matter. There is one
simple step between you and Jesus. When you trust Him, everything
else is settled, and you have repented, you have come to Christ, you
have received Him, you have done everything necessary to be saved.
Take the answer in Acts 16:31 at face value: "BELIEVE ON THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED"! In dozens of Scriptures all
through the Bible salvation is promised to those that believe. Read
carefully the following Scriptures and see that again and again,
many, many times, God has promised all any poor sinner would ever
need when he believes on the Lord Jesus Christ.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name."--John 1:12.
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever BELIEVETH in him should
not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."--John 3:14-16.
"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that BELIEVETH
not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name
of the only begotten Son of God."--John 3:18.
"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
BELIEVETH not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him."--John 3:36.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
BELIEVETH on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not
come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."--John
5:24.
"And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and
I will raise him up at the last day."--John 6:40.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath
everlasting life."--John 6:47.
"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
whosoever BELIEVETH in him shall receive remission of sins."--Acts
10:43.
"And by him all that BELIEVE are justified from all things, from
which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."--Acts 13:39.
Read again the Scripture we started with:
"What must I do to be saved?"
"BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."--Acts
16:30, 31.
