To believe in Jesus is to accept all that Jesus taught and all that is taught about Jesus in the New Testament. To believe in Jesus is to place one’s confidence and security for life and eternity into his hands. Those who believe Jesus repent of their sin and rebellion against God. They call upon the name of the Lord Jesus to be saved. Those who call upon Jesus in faith for salvation are saved. Their sins are forgiven. They are justified by God. To be justified is to be declared righteous in God’s sight, based on the fact that Christ paid the punishment for our sins. Those who embrace Jesus by faith immediately enter into the Kingdom of God. They receive the very eternal life of Jesus Christ. God comes to live in them (John 14:23). They become followers (students, apprentices) of Jesus Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 we read: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
