REPENT
To repent means to turn away from your disobedience to God’s Word, the Bible, in genuine sorrow. Disobedience to God’s way is called “sin.”
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).
CONFESS
To confess means to verbally acknowledge your sin and your need of Jesus as your Lord (controller) and Saviour (deliverer). Consider the following Bible teachings on confession:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God bath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).
BELIEVE
To believe means to completely accept what God has said, so you can act on it.
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that corneth to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
FOLLOW
To follow Jesus Christ daily in life means that you will want to obey what He teaches you in His Word, the Bible. Through obedience, we show the world that we belong to Christ.
“[Jesus Christ] became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him” (Hebrews 5:9).
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
