Titus 1:15 NASB
"To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled."

Great wickedness, you see, is unbelief. People caught up in legalistic imitations of Christianity boast in their obedience and belief, but they don’t really believe.

The word believe in John 3:16 is translated into English from the Greek word πιστεύω (pronounced pist-yoo'-o), and it means, “to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), that is, credit; by implication to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well being to Christ): - believe (-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with.”  (From Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance)

To believe, as in what Jesus told Nicodemus in the famous John 3:16 verse, is NOT a warm and fuzzy feeling it must be true. That’s what some mean when we say “believe” today.

What Jesus meant is to trust in, rely on, and give full confidence to him for your eternal life. Do you? Salvation isn't a result of Jesus + your obedience to the 10 commandments. Being baptized in water doesn't save you either. The sacraments are powerless to wash your sins away. Only the blood of Jesus can do that.

We can do nothing to aid Jesus in qualifying us for salvation. There’s no outward action that we must do. There is only the inward reaction to his love of believing in him alone.

When we trust in, rely on, and give full confidence to Jesus, as our only hope and source of salvation, we inherit eternal life. Boom! Full stop.

If you still disagree and you still maintain that the blood of Christ isn't enough ... REPENT of your heresy!  Quit claiming you are the bride of a Christ but then flirt with Moses behind his back. Let go of the former husband that is dead and buried and fully embrace the living husband that resurrected from the dead and is delivering people still.

Isaiah 12:2 NASB
“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.”
