The Moment You Believe Jesus Is The Son Of God

Recently I heard that “We need longtime believers to show new believers the way.” I am absolutely convinced that the moment one believes Jesus is the Son of God, they’re saved according to the Scriptures. If helping new believers in the Biblical Jesus to grow spiritually, leaves them with having to believe [or else] “the Son is God” to be saved, they have been diverted from what has been clearly laid out for us in the Bible. Jesus is the Son of God. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15 (NKJV) Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” John 20:17 (NKJV) After reading John 20:17, how would you treat the one believing Jesus is the Son of God and that Jesus’ God and Father and their God and Father are one and the same? It’s simple. We’re to look no further than the Bible, for what has been clearly laid out for us in it. Don’t allow [anyone] using what solely belongs to the Anthanasian Creed, “the Son is God,” to take from you your assurance of salvation. Your God and Father will be the same as Jesus’ God and Father, the moment you believe Jesus is the Son of God.

There are two sides to every story. For every truth there is a non-truth. For example, when someone says to me “unless one believes [the Son is God] one cannot be saved,” I recognize this as a non-truth as that person has not spoken the word of God to me. There’s only one way to measure one’s salvation, by using the truth as laid out for us in the Bible. As one who believes Jesus is the Son of God, and not ashamed to tell others it’s so, I’m certain that I don’t have to believe in the Anthanasian Creeds “the Son is God” for my salvation.
