(B) - Believe Jesus is Lord > (Romans 10:9-10 > [9]-That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10]-For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.) (C) - Call upon His name > (Romans 10:13 > For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.) + Trust only in Jesus. - (John 14:6 > Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh to the Father, but by me.) (Ephesians 2:8-9 > [8]-For by grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9]-Not of works, lest any man should boast.) All praise, and glory, and honour, and strength, and blessing, be to the Lord our God, Jesus! Blessings in Jesus' name. Amen.
