Red Letter Invitations: Believe in Me

John 14:1-6

Main Thing to Know:
Faith is believing in a person not a promise

1. Believe in Him as the Savior

• Unique birth

• Sinless life

• Substitute death

. . . the poor soul that would have pardon of sin is directed to place its faith not only on Christ, but on a bleeding Christ.

—William Gurnall

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

At the cross, God was doing something:

To Christ

Through Christ

2. Believe in Him as the only Savior

The Christian religion is at once the broadest and the narrowest in the world. It is a faith that admits every possible kind of person. But it admits them in only one way.

—Tim Challies

How to Spot False Teaching:

• Adds to the Bible
  
• Multiplies the requirements of salvation
  
• Subtracts from Jesus

3. Believe in Him as a sufficient Savior

Your salvation is not merely a matter of a saving formula, but of a saving person.
