It means to accept Him not only as your saviour but most especially as your Lord.
Most Christians do not understand what the Lordship of Christ entails.
A Lord is your Master and Boss.
Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord makes you recognise His ordinances and commandments as important instructions to follow. Also it means you accept His will over yours.
Although He is the type of Lord that will never impose His will, He gives us the will to make our own choice.
Unfortunately we often think our will is better than His and end up not trusting Him enough to patiently wait for Him to do His will.

Yet His will is the only Perfect will and His thoughts for us are Good always.
He only tests and trains us to eliminate all the bad habits and iniquities in us so that by the time the trial is over, a refined gold is produced out of us. A refined, transformed and glorious version of us that we never knew existed is produced, if only we can patiently wait and endure.

It's very saddening that most people that commented above didn't understand or even read what the op posted.

OP, stop preaching heresy. You were just beating about the bush. You couldn't even explicitly defend your tosh teaching.

You can not be in Christ and continue sinning. That's the truth. You are telling people to just be complacent and continue their lives cos Jesus will pardon their weakness. Like seriously?

Examine all those that followed Jesus or came in contact with Jesus, there was a huge difference. They did not return to their former lifestyle.

Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments. It's not any hu!an effort but by the action of the holy spirit of God dwelling in us, we shun sin.

If you like, keep on living in sin and claiming you believe in Jesus. E go clear you for eyes when you will miss the rapture.

WE made our comment on the 20th comment box and we are actually on the 2nd comment box!
What happened here?!
It's obvious some children of perdition have been here,
and a great war has taken place, but the great and mighty hand of the Lord has wiped them all off just like the children of Egypt who got drowned in the red sea.
To God be the glory....

@Topic!
What it means to believe in Jesus Christ Is that, it is much more than just believing, but after believing, God wants us to come to know Him personally. And He has bridged the gap between us by sending His Son to remove the barrier of sin and become that “bridge.” To believe in Christ is to commit our lives by faith to Christ, to trust Him personally as our Lord and Savior.

Op how can you be sin in and be holy ?

How can you be in sin and expect abundance grace ?

How does sinning align with obeying God's commandment which is a prerequisite for loving Jesus ?

Op, are you sure you're a Christian ?

How can you be Christ like and be dwelling in sin, doesn't that mean you're Un-christ like ?

You are the bloody heretic who needs to be rebuked tonight.

You clearly did not read the OP before jumping in with your lies from the pit of hell. Do you really believe you can live without sin? I don't know you from Adam but I can bet that you have sinned this month without even knowing. This makes you a candidate of hell fire. Let me show you.

Do you have a vehicle or you take public transportation?
Do you buy gala and bottled water in traffic?
Do you throw the emptied bottled out of the vehicle?

I believe your answers are YES.

Do you know that the plastic bottle blocks drainages there leading to flood that destroys lives and properties? Your action has rendered many homeless and dead. Yet you keep on living without knowing you have sinned until you end up in hell fire. Can you see that you cannot escape sin by yourself?

You need to believe in Jesus as the only one to save you from sin. Once you do that, you can never miss heaven. Yes, you might sin once in a while but those sins can't prevent you from heaven. because you are saved already.

Read your Bible very well. Once you believe in Jesus Christ, you are made righteous. You are no longer judged by your sins.



Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV)

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt 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.


Once you have faith in Jesus, your sins will never be used to judge you. Read the verse below very well


Romans 4:5-8

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

My question now is, does your faith stops you from dwelling in sin? Or it doesn't matter if you dwell in sin or not because we believe in Jesus?
Re: What Does It Mean To Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ? - Olamide Obire by Nobody: 8:53am On Oct 14, 2018
When you believe you will also have to get the revelation this depends on your sincerity for some it’s a near death experience Pr you might even hear guidance sometimes and you will be directed towards people and places that honor you and God. You shall pass through the valley of the dead and not tremble in fear. No harm will befall you.

The call to Holiness wasn't a mistake. If you remove your part of commitment from your Salvation then you have misunderstood the "Believe" you repeatedly mentioned in your postulation.

The bible emphatically said "the devil believe also and trembles"

Righteousness is both ascribed and acquired in the believe on our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acquired - your Abhorrence of anything sinful and denial of oneself of sinful pleasures.

Ascribed - there is no one righteous, no not one. However, this righteousness can be begotten through Christ.

These two parts of righteousness is essential and endeavour you work out your final Salvation. The bible says "Work out your Salvation with fear and trembling"

Demas lost his, so can you. Endeavour to abide till the end - this is the demand by Jesus in John gospel. He that abides to the end shall be saved.

Don't call it quit until the end.

You are been deceived.

Righteousness is not you abstaining from sin. You are righteous once you believe and confess Jesus Christ.

Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt 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.


Even the OP gave several verses to show that Jesus Christ made us righteous.

Do you know what the Bible means when it says "work out your salvation"?

Please read the verse below.

Philippians 2:12-13

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.


When you go to the gym and participate in the activities there, what do you say you are doing? You say YOU ARE WORKING OUT. That is you are working out your muscles. You had muscles, but in order to make them more pronounced, you decided to work them out. When your friends see your new physique and muscles, they get inspired to go to the gym too.

When God says you should work out your salvation, He simply means you should show the world that you are truly saved. You are to show the fruits of salvation. God has saved you, He put salvation in you. He now wants you to work it out and show the fruit so that others will through that be saved too.

Now, go back and read the Philippians 2:12-13 Again to understand it better.

Guess what? Even if you don't know work out that salvation as explained above, you will still be counted as a righteous man for having faith in Jesus who makes the ungodly righteous.

Romans 4:5

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.


You are depending on WORKS to save you, that's why you were quick to quote out of context "work your salvation". The below verse shows clearly that salvation is not of WORKS.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.


To understand why you can never lose your salvation, please read the below link. It's very long but it will save you for all eternity.

My brother thank you for this beautiful explanation. I have just decided to ignore all these ignorant hypocrites that don't understand what was written in the Bible.
