Washing Away Your Sins

If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

This world—this life—is fraught with sadness and tragedy. All of us, unfortunately, contribute to this reality and are victimized by it at the same time. The Bible makes it clear that God longs to rescue the people he made and loves. When you believe in your heart that Jesus died to pay the penalty for your sins and that God resurrected him, and when you confess your sins to him and proclaim your faith to others, you secure your salvation and your place in eternity with God and his people. Have you responded to his call yet? He’s waiting for you with open arms.
