Belief in the Resurrection.
Ro. 10:9 "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
He "was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification." Rom. 4:25. And "he died for all." He tasted death for every man. Therefore he was raised for the justification of every man.
Heb_2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man
To believe in the heart that God hath raised him from the dead, is to believe that he justifies me. The one who does not believe that Jesus does cleanse him from sin, does not really believe that God has raised him from the dead; for we can not believe in the resurrection of Jesus, without believing that for which he was raised.
The resurrection of Jesus is much less generally believed than is commonly supposed.
