Confession of faith
Christian, why do you need Jesus?
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; I am the worst!
Christian, why do you confess Jesus?
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confessed and is saved.
