Jesus only required his followers to have faith in him, like that of a mustard seed. He only asks his followers to believe in what he did for them by dying on the cross, to believe that he is real and living today, and to believe that his love for those who love him is an everlasting love. he requires them to confess their sins, believe in their hearts the Jesus is Lord and to proclaim the gospel of Salvation through faith in him. All that Jesus has ever required those who believe in him to do is just that. Believe. Even those who follow him now. simply believe that your soul has been saved by the maker of the universe, and be sincere. that is the faith Required by Jesus, Faith like that of a child, Faith as small as a mustard seed.
