Meditate on what happens after you believe
in Jesus Christ as your Savior?
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. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God,
and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. As the Scriptures
tell us, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced." Jew and
Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives
generously to all who call on him. For "Everyone who calls on the name of the
LORD will be saved." But how can they call on him to save them unless they
believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about
him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? Romans
10:9-14
Anyone who believes and is baptized will be
saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16
Confess. Believe and be baptized. That was
what Jesus wanted His disciples to do. Make disciples…those who believe…and
baptize them.
Jesus came and told his disciples, "I
have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I
have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of
the age."
Matthew 28:18-20
 |
| Go into all the world... Make disciples. |
Then the disciples were told to “teach these new disciples to obey all the
commands….” It is important to know what Jesus expects…to know His commands
so that they can be obeyed. Everyone has to decide for themselves. What do you
think? Have you confessed, believed and been baptized? If so are you making new
disciples? That is just what Jesus expects you to do? Go into the entire world—beginning
with your own neighborhood.
Prayer ~ Jesus, You promised to be with us
always, even to the end of the age. People flocked to You and hung on Your
every word as they eagerly became Your followers and disciples. Give us wisdom
and courage to share You…to tell others...in such a way that people will find You
and eagerly follow You. Here and now…until the end of the age.
