Yes, believing in Jesus makes one saved, for it is written in Romans 10:9
[9]Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

But what does it really mean to Believe?
The Amplified Bible puts it in the best way, Romans 10:9

[9]Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Believing means adhering to, trusting in and relying on Jesus Christ. Believing is not a one-off event rather it is a continuous event. Believing is not what should be done once only in the crusade ground or by the church altar where you gave your life to Christ. It is to be done everyday and the fruits are to be evident in our lives. When you give your life to Jesus, and believe in Him, the Holy Spirit will take charge of your Life. When you declare that Jesus is your Lord, you mean He is your President, Oga, Commander of your life. You are making a statement to the world that it is Jesus that you will obey not the world or the devil. For it is written, he who you obey, that is he who is your master. When you Believe in Jesus, you obey his commands in extension showing you love Him. Even when you err, you will be quick to run back to His feet and ask the Father for forgiveness of sins through His Son Jesus Christ, and also ask for the Grace not to sin again, and He is faithful to answer your requests.

God is calling us today to Believe in Him not with mouthy talks but through our actions. Let us ask Him for the Grace to refuse to take bribes, commit sexual immorality, tell lies, and indulge in other vices because we believe in Him.

God wants you today to Believe that your help doesn't come from stealing, lying or fornication, but it comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth.

May The Holy Spirit of God continue to guide our hearts and lead us to the point of believing and relying totally on Jesus.

Sure it saves.

A part in the Bible said something about believing like a child, you see the way a child believes the guardian in everything?
that's the way God wants our believe in him to be.

Jesus didn't tell anyone to believe in him.

You don't just believe cos faith without work is dead

I don't think so. One has to observe the commandments and exercise faith in him to be saved. Only believing and making him personal lord and savior makes you nothing.

NOPE! FOR YOU TO BE SAVED, YOU MUST BELIEVE IN CHRIST AS A PROPHET OF GOD AND EQUALLY BELIEVE IN ALL THE PROPHETS. YOU MUST BELIEVE IN PRE-DESTINATION AND EQUALLY BELIEVE THAT NONE DESERVES TO BE WORSHIPPED EXCEPT ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH GOD ALLAH YAHWEH ELOHIM.


LASTLY, YOU MUST BELIEVE IN THE ONENESS OF GOD ( NOT TRINITY)

People believe in Jesus for different reasons, which are counterfeits
But the faith Jesus talked about is the faith in him to be justified and set free from sin.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.


Human beings are slave of sin and condemned by it, but Jesus is the lamb of God who take away the sin of the world,
Romans said nobody can do good, all have sinned and fall short of his glory.
It is God that reach down from heaven to us to save us, and he told us in his word that we simply trust in him.
Faith is simple, infact it is so simple that manywant to make it complex so they can boast, God hate the pride and boasting of man.
Faith means to believe what Jesus said about himself, about us, about all.

When we believe in Jesus we stop trying to be righteous by our strength and just accept the righteousness of God given freely to us.

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Faith in Jesus plus nothing is what saves.

Nobody can be righteous by observing the commandments, the only way to be righteous is by faith.
Faith in christ is absolutely sufficient nothing to be added.

John chapter 1 puts your question to rest.

Having faith in Jesus plus no work is equal to the third servant who buried his talent(matt 25:14), to the fig tree who bore no fruits. Having faith in Jesus will produce fruits some a 100fold, some 200fold. Works are a product(fruits) of Faith in the Lord. If your Faith in the Lord is not producing good works, then there's an error some where. Remember the Word pf God says in 2 Cor 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
However, I am saying all these because I think what you mean by works is doing righteous deeds, please don't be offended if I mistook your statement.

No sir! Not the same!
The man who buried his talent is not a Christian, read again, the man referred to the master as a wicked man who reap where he did not sow, that is someone who pretends to love the Lord but does not.

2cor5:10 is talking about the bema judgment seat of Christ, where every Christian would be rewarded for their labor, however no body is condemned to the lake of fire!
The judgment were people are condemned to the lake of fire is the great white throne which is for unbelievers.
I agree with you if you faith is not producing good works it might be your faith is a dead one faith (counterfeit one).

Righteous deeds does not justify a man

IT'S A MATTER OF THE HEART AND YOUR ACTIONS INTERACTIONS AND MOVEMENTS.

That is what "believe" clearly means in all aspects. I believe Agofure Motors (GAM) would take you to Warri without buying a ticket and entering the bus and obeying their laws, will never get you to Warri.

I'm just curious, what will happen to the believers who don't make the cut before the judgment seat of Christ.

Farce

Their works would be destroyed but they shall be saved.

1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

So the Bible lied in saying "Whoso keepeth The Law is wise: My son, forget not my Law: keep my commandments. Length of days and long life and PEACE, shall they add to thee. They are LIFE to those that find them and health to all their flesh"?

Noah, Job, Daniel (God judged them Righteous) and even that young rich ruler have proven that people have indeed kept it and it can be kept if any is willing.

Your unwillingness should not be used to prevent and block another person from trying to do so.

AntiChristian:

Jesus didn't tell anyone to believe in him.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Keeping the law is good it shows that you have a zeal to live right. it however it does not mean you become a righteous man.
Jesus praised the young ruler because he had the zeal of living right.
The law is good, but only in christ can the law be fulfilled.

How can a person who lives right, in the eye of The Law which God Issued, not be righteous?

NOT POSSIBLE!

Living right Under Law means absence of wrong doing (sin) Under Law.

And any who lives right cannot be said to have been a Lawbreaker.

And the condemnation of the unrighteous, IS THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BROKEN A LAW!

Examine all the cases of unrighteousness and see whether A Law/Laws was not broken!

Steep:

3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Wrong!

It means if a believers good work is destroyed on the Day of Reward, he shall have no reward but he shall not be condemned as those who did evil works. Simple!

Sons are creatures of your kind that comes into existence through you either by birth or other means. Job 38:7; Psalms 82:6
So speak for the god you know not that which another nation worshiped for centuries only for Arabs to start claiming they know Him better than the original worshipers.
