Today’s Scripture: Romans 10:9 ESV- because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
I must confess to you that Jesus is Lord. Why? Because the Word shows us here in Romans 10:9 that if we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead we will be saved.
Don’t you want to be saved? A confession tends to open the door of the heart to both the one confessing and the one listening. This door that is opened reveals God’s power, compassion and riches.
Romans 10:17 states that faith comes from hearing and hearing comes from the word of Christ. I really have found that I hear God in the Word of Christ. Because I have heard God in His Word, I can confess my beliefs.
His word calls us to confess Jesus as Lord, do you?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, thank You for Your Word. I trust You to bring Your word to those who You intend. May my confession reveal Your power. My life depends on You LORD and I pray my life serves Your purposes. May the confession of my mouth be heard by You and the one who you intend. Amen
