After A B C . . .
there’s “D” for
Discipleship
To become a Christian, a person (child or adult) must believe that Jesus’
death paid the penalty for sin and that God raised Jesus from the dead, repent and turn from his sin, and confess
his faith in Jesus.
A—Admit
Admit to God that you are a sinner. The first people God created chose to sin and disobey God. Ever since then, all people have chosen to sin and disobey.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Repent, turn away from your sin.
Acts 3:19: Therefore repent and turn back, that your sins may be wiped out so that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.
1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
B—Believe
Believe that Jesus is God’s Son and accept God’s gift of forgiveness from sin.
Acts 16:31: “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
Acts 4:12: “There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.”
John 14:6: Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.
C—Confess
Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Romans 10:9-10,13: If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
1. Does God hold young children accountable for sin?
2. When and how should parents and Christian teachers approach the topic of salvation with children?
1. People are born with a sinful nature and stand guilty before God. 2. People, therefore, are not right with God. 3. People are in need of Christ and His salvation. 4. God works through the Holy Spirit to bring conviction of sin.
