After believing Christ died for your sin, what does God expect you to do?
After believing Christ died for your sin, God expects you to recognize it verbally—to call upon the Lord. Believing alone is not quite enough; you must verbally acknowledge that you are a sinner and that Christ died in your place, as Romans 10 says the Lord is rich to all who call upon Him.
Les teaches that believing Christ died for your sin is not the final step. After believing the Bible's verdict that you are a sinner—Romans 3:23-24, all have sinned, sinners by being sons of Adam—you must verbally recognize and acknowledge it. Les explains from Romans 10 that there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call upon Him, not in a blanket effect, but to those who call. Verse 13 is the capstone. Les recalls a Minnesota woman who, through tears, said she never saw this verse before, though she had been a Sunday School teacher for years. So God expects verbal recognition—calling upon the Lord.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
