What you don't need to believe

When you come to Jesus with a broken and a contrite heart and seek his forgiveness, you have done all you need to do in order to be saved!
You don't need to believe that Jesus is God. You don't need to believe that he is the Son of God in some literalistic sense. You don't need to believe he was born of a virgin. You are not required to first subscribe to the idea of the Trinity. You don't need to be baptized in water before receiving Jesus into your heart.
All you need do is to trust Jesus enough to accept his help. And that means you must believe that God raised Jesus from the dead so that people like you could be saved by the man he appointed to that task.

When the Bible says you must believe Jesus is the Son of God, it means you must believe he can save you, that he is the Savior.
You may come to believe in some or all of the assertions listed above in the first paragraph. But none is necessary to get you into God's kingdom. Just trust Jesus to help you out of your sad predicament. That's it!
