*VERILY, verily*, I say unto you, *he* that *heareth My Word*, and *believeth* on Him (God) that sent Me (Christ), *hath everlasting* life, and shall not come into judgment, but *hath passed out of death into life*. _John 5:24, A.V. & R.V._ *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._ Your salvation depends upon what *you do with Jesus Christ. Accept* Him and you are saved—*reject* Him and you are lost. Thus saith the Scriptures! BEGIN the Christian life in a humble and trusting way, as the child begins with the alphabet at school. Don’t look for marvels. Don’t expect to see visions. Believe that the Spirit of Christ will come into your heart, and cause you to love God and delight in His will; not because you may feel happy, but because you are definitely trusting Him to do what He has promised to do. If you will forsake your sins, He says He will blot them out and give you His Holy Spirit. Believe the Word of the Lord, because it is His word, and He cannot lie. He says He will help you to bear your troubles. Trust Him and try Him. He says He will give you strength for labor; courage for conflict; the power to resist temptation, and grace sufficient for every day. Take Him at His word and you will soon know for yourself how blessed it is to trust and obey. *1st. Receive Christ as a Saviour.* BUT as many as *received Him* (Christ), to *them gave* he *power* to *become* the *sons* of *God*, even to them that *believe on his name*. _John 1:12._ *2nd. Confess Christ before men.* WHOSOEVER therefore shall *confess me before men*, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. _Matthew 10:32._ IF thou shalt *confess with thy mouth* the Lord Jesus, and shalt *believe in thine heart* that God hath raised him from the dead, *thou shalt be saved*. For with the *heart* man believeth unto righteousness; and with the *mouth* confession is made unto salvation. _Romans 10:9-10._ The “*If*” at the beginning of this last Scripture suggests *two* conditions. 1st. To "*confess*,” that is, *make known* with your mouth the Lord Jesus. 2nd. To “*believe*,” that is, *really mean it* in your heart. If you meet these conditions God’s word says, “*thou shalt be saved*”. Our feelings are *not to be depended upon*. *3rd. OBEY Christ in the life*. HE *that hath my commandments, and keepeth them*, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and *will manifest myself to him*. _John 14:21._
