Romans 10:9-13

9 For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who believes in him will not be disappointed." 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They all have the same Lord, who generously gives his riches to all who ask for them. 13 For "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (NLT)

 

To come to Jesus you must first confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. You must voice it out loud -- not to yourself. Second, you must believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead and you will be saved. When you believe and trust Jesus you will not be disappointed. When we become disappointed it is when we are being selfish, but when we rely only on Jesus we will not be disappointed. God through Jesus gives generously His riches to all who ask for them and anyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus through confession and believing will be saved. Jesus did not come to condemn the world because the world is already condemned but He came to seek and to save the lost. This too is our responsibility -- to seek and to share the gospel that others too will be saved.
