CONFESSING CHRIST

Romans 10:8-13

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Personal Challenge

Once again, we are reminded that being a Christian is being an active follower of Jesus Crist. We must be willing to profess with our mouth and believe in our heart that Jesus was raised from the dead for our benefit. This is then followed by actively following in His footsteps, being His hands and feet in this world that needs Him so badly. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
