Protocols of the Godkind: How to Receive Salvation

God wants everyone to be saved. Salvation is the greatest gift any human can receive but while God’s desire is that everyone be saved, there is a protocol, a specific divine order to receiving this gift.

“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.”

Romans 10:9 (KJV)

According to Scripture, to become saved or to become a Christian, two key actions are required:

  1. Believe the gospel in your heart
  2. Confess Jesus Christ with your mouth

What is the Gospel

The gospel is the power of God unto salvation.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” – Romans 1:16 (KJV)

The gospel of Christ is not just one of many ways to God, it is the only way. God has established the gospel as His exclusive means to save mankind. No alternative beliefs or philosophies can grant eternal life.

Jesus said in the scripture below that he was annointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the explanation  after the semi column gives us an understanding of what he meant by “The Poor”. In this context, the Poor means the broken hearted, captives of sin, and so on.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,” – Luke 4:18 KJV

There was an issue with men  that had to be fixed. Christ came to take our place in the judgement for sin and reconciled us back to God. God is no longer counting people’s sins against them because Christ paid for it.

“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” – 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 NIV

Believing the Gospel

To believe the gospel is to fully accept the message that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to save humanity from sin and reconcile us back to God. Believing in Him gives life. Without this belief, salvation cannot be received.

Believing that there is a higher power or a supreme being is good. But these beliefs alone do not result in salvation. Salvation requires a personal and conscious belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Confessing Jesus as Lord

Salvation does not end at belief. The second step is confession, a verbal declaration/affirmation that Jesus is Lord. This is more than just speaking words; it is an open acknowledgment of the Lordship of Jesus over your life.

Confession is a physical action that reflects a spiritual reality. More often than not, the words a person speaks reveal what is truly in their heart. That is why both the heart and the mouth must be involved in receiving salvation.

Conclusion

God’s gift of salvation is free, but it is not automatic. It follows a divine order, a protocol established in His Word. To be saved:

  • Believe the gospel in your heart
  • Confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth

No other path leads to eternal life. The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. If you have not yet followed this protocol, now is the time to make that life-changing decision.

Let your heart believe and your mouth confess. The gift of salvation is waiting.
