Whosoever Shall Confess.
Whosover shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God — God dwells in him. 1 John 4:15 KJV begins with “Whosoever”. Which means anyone and everyone who confesses Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior has access to God the Father.
The Gospel is straightforward: Adam sinned. Throughout history, mankind has been born into sin. He lived a sinless life and died to atone for our sins. By the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, humanity was reconciled back to God.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for “whoever”. In His death, Jesus paid for the sins of the entire world, for whoever believes in Him. You are the one Christ died for.
When Jesus Christ was crucified, His flesh was ripped and torn just for you and for me — His flesh was a symbol for the veil. Christ was the veil. Our sins were atoned for through him. As a result, He paid the full and satisfactory price for the sins of the world and we were forgiven. Our sins were completely atoned for by His Blood.
There is no substitute for it, nor will there ever be. Jesus Christ is the only one who can satisfy sin’s payment requirements. No other god, no other idol, no other lamb, no other bull, no other ram, no other goat, no other sacrifice could pay for our sin.
He reconciled man to God through His shed Blood. Payment was made in full. Through the Blood Covenant of Jesus Christ, our sin, guilt, and shame are completely covered and washed away. By simply confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you will be saved. Let His Blood cover you. Let His Blood wash you clean. Turn to Him. Give Him your heart.
1 John 4:15 declares, “Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God.”
Accept Christ as your Savior and Lord. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can reach God the Father. If you confess Jesus Christ as God’s Son, you are declaring that He is God, and that He is Lord over your life. Don’t be afraid to confess Christ. Make the decision to surrender to Him.
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.” 1 John 4:15 ESV
You can accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior simply by praying the following prayer:
Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ. I thank You that Jesus Christ died for my sin. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Father, I repent of my sin and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Lord, I surrender to You. In Jesus Name. Amen.
