So what does one mean when they say that one has to accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour in order to be saved? For many, it simply means that one must, from the heart, accept Jesus as who the Bible teaches He is, the Son of God and the only Saviour for the world. This is nothing more than belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Certainly believing that Jesus is the Son of God is a requirement for salvation, but is it all that one must do in order to be saved? The answer to this question is a resounding; No! The apostle John wrote, “He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:11-12).
