By believing the saving gospel revealed in this Bible, and knowing that there’s no other name under heaven given among men where we must be saved than the glorious name Jesus Christ. Trust Him and Him alone. Put your faith in Him. Repent of your sin. And the grace of God will pour into your life, and you will be redeemed and regenerated and renewed. And you will spend forever in the glory of heaven.

So, what am I supposed to believe to become a Christ Follower and escape hell?

BELIEVE WHAT?

*Believe,Admit, and Agree you are a sinner.

*Believe, Admit, and agree you are alienated from God, and must truly repent and turn from your sin.

*Believe, Admit and Agree that you are “condemned already” and need a pardon.

*Believe, Admit and Agree that you need to repent (turn your back from sin) and produce fruits of obedience.

*Believe, Admit and Agree that Jesus took your punishment on the cross as your substitute, and is waiting to pardon you.

*Believe, Admit, and Agree that God’s justice was satisfied by the fact that God raised Jesus…from the dead. And when God raised Him from the dead He was saying, “I am satisfied.”

*Believe, Admit and Agree, that the evidence that you are truly a believer is that you produce “fruits of obedience.”

That’s what you believe. That’s the gospel. And when you believe that by faith, simply trusting God, He, in His mercy takes the righteousness of Jesus Christ and credits it to you because your sins were credited to Christ when He died on the cross.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For GOD hath made JESUS to be sin for US who knew no sin; that we might be made the image of God in him.

If you have a desire in your heart to believe, the best way to know how is to repent and trust in the Lord simply and quietly in your heart:

“God, “be merciful to me a sinner”. I want Jesus Christ as my Lord, and am glad to be his slave. I receive him now. I don’t want to die in my sin. I want to go where you are. I now repent of my sin and turn my back upon them. I want to follow you, and obey you and your word. Please save my lost soul. Amen.”

If you do that in faith trusting, He will hear that prayer and your life will be transformed in a moment. If your faith is weak ask him to help you to believe. If you need more information read the Gospel of John, and ask God to teach you the truth of Christ.
