Your Confession of Christ

Today many people consider themselves to be Christians. “I go to church on Sunday,” they say or “I live a morally upright life, sure, I’m a Christian.” But being a religious person or a so-called good person does not make you a Christian.

It is a solid commitment to Christ that makes a person a Christian. You see, all true Christians have one very important thing in common. They all make the same heartfelt confession. That confession is “Jesus Christ is Lord.” The Bible says, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved” (Romans 10:9). Real Christians renounce control over their lives. They bow to Christ. They recognize His direction in their lives. And they commit themselves to follow Christ.

The confession they make is in no way an empty confession. It is possible for people to make a confession of Christ without real inner conviction. Jesus talks about such people when he says, “Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and I will declare to them, ‘Depart from me’ (Matthew 7:22-23). Your confession of Christ must stem from a heart full of faith. And above all, Christ is able to look into your heart. Yes, you must truly believe that Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty due to you for your sins. And you must believe that God raised this same Jesus from the dead, and you must worship this risen Lord as the one who sits on the throne of the universe and King of kings.

To help you toward making this confession, you can listen to a sermon based on Romans 10:9 called, “Christ is Lord.” Just click here.

Get in the Game: R&L Carriers Bowl 12/23 Outreach Report

R & L Carriers New Orleans Bowl

Evangelist, David Robert, reported:  “We were able to distribute about two dozen gospel tracts to the locals and football fans. Then the rain came. When it cleared up, the city workers brought in the jackhammers and concrete saws.  The noise could be heard three blocks away. I had planned on open air preaching, but not with that noise.  Perhaps Friday when the New Orleans Saints play”.

Meet: Greg Fischer, SBO ’21 Evangelist

Greg Fischer – Denmark, WI

I am Greg Fischer. I was brought up in Roman Catholicism, but left the church when I left home, age 20. For about the next 10 years I attended only on holidays. My belief system was only to serve my own interests and pleasures. Then around age 30 I began to search a little more for the meaning of life, as well as some direction spiritually. At the urging of a fellow employee, I attended a charismatic church and became a member for the next 3 years. As it turned out, I was a false convert in a church that preached a false gospel, the “gospel” of prosperity. After leaving this church I began to settle into mostly Baptist churches, which, for the most part, preached solid, reformed theology. At age 36 I was finally truly saved. It has been a steady process of sanctification. Being solidly grounded in one church for 20 years, that does not compromise on the truth, has certainly helped to prepare me for street ministry. For the last 11 years I have been involved in street corner ministry, as well as outreaches at parades, state fairs, and nighttime street ministry. One of the greatest joys has been to get to know the brothers and sisters through SFOI, and serve the Lord with them.

Meet: Matt De Jesus, SBO ’21 Evangelist

Matt De Jesus – Tempe, AZ

I was introduced to the Gospel at 10 years of age. I went forward at my church, made a profession of faith, and was baptized- not fully understanding what I was doing. My road of sanctification, like many of you, has been a rocky one. As I grew to become an adult I learned intimately what God meant when He had Malachi refer to Him as “a refinerʼs fire…” (Mal 3:2) as well as the passage in Proverbs that tells us “He disciplines those He loves” (Prov 3:12). God was purifying me by ripping the sin, which I was clutching to so tightly, out of my hands. No discipline at the time is pleasurable, but needed. Needed to become a useful vessel that would honor God, not bringing a reproach to His name. This is an ongoing process until Glory. After years of watching “On The Box” and “Wretched” I had the opportunity to meet Tony Miano. I helped him with several videos and I learned quite a bit about street evangelism. I was so inspired that I had to open my mouth as well to proclaim the Gospel.

I have three adult children that the Lord has richly blessed me with. God has also blessed me with a video production business that I’ve owned for more than 30 years producing secular and Christian videos. I have produced several videos for Tony Mianoʼs Cross Encounters Ministries as well as Apologia Church and others.
