“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Romans 10:9-10
Jesue is so rare that no other like Him has ever existed. He is so reliable and ever faithful that, He has never disappointed one person who chose to trust in Him. He is so capable that nothing is impossible for Him. He is so good that, if you have not accepted Him as Savior, He is waiting with outstretched arms.
Today’s verse tells us how to become a child of God, to accept Him as Saviour. If you believe in your heart that Jesus exists, that He came to die on the cross to forgive your sins and that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Verse 9 means, Confess that Jesus is the Lord of Glory, and Saviour of men, and that He died on the Cross that we might be Saved. Believe in your heart (pertains to the Bodily Resurrection of Christ, as is obvious, you shall be Saved (it is that simple).
Verse 10 presents the word “believing” in a mode of “thinking” not of felling; the “believing” has to do with believing Christ, and that His Sacrifice of Himself Atone for all sin. The mouth confession is when Faith comes forth from its silence to announce itself and proclaim the Glory and the Grace of the Lord its voice “is confession”
You may think that this is an impossibility, but the Bible tells us that whoever believes in Him will not be lost, will not perish, but will find eternal life (John 3:15). Whoever believes… means that none are excluded from being lost and none are excluded from being saved. Believes in Him…. means believes in Christ and what He did at the Cross; otherwise, one perish. But have Eternal Life means, the Life of God, the Ever-Living One, Who has life in Himself and Alone has immortality.
No matter what you have done, where you have been, whom you have let down, what you have gone through or what others say about you, as long as you want Him, He wants you. Find out for yourself the magnitude of His goodness, the unsearchable depths of His love for you.
