What It Means to Believe on Christ

To believe on Christ means to let him be unto us personally just what and all that he promises to be unto those who accept him as their Saviour. The door of the heart is thus opened for the indwelling presence of Christ by his Spirit, and he becomes the Lord and Ruler of the life—the very life of our life. To believe on Christ is to permit him to be our sacrifice, our substitute, our surety, our priest, and our king. To believe on Christ is to accept both his present and his future work for us, and to co-operate with him in that work. To believe on Christ in this generation is to look for him as the soon-coming King who will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of whose kingdom there shall be no end. He who believes on Christ becomes a member of the household of God and an heir of the kingdom.
