Welcome to God’s Word to You
God’s Word to You today is found in Romans 10:9-10
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
This is the Gospel. Simple and true, short and powerful.
There isn’t really anything to add but so many try. There is a ton of stuff here but the explanation gets muffled in the translation.
There are no rules of have to’s or any glimpse of an Indian Giver clause. Just a simple if you declare (believe) with your mouth and heart, that Jesus is Lord (boss, leader, in control, master) and that He rose from the dead (after He was crucified to death) you will be saved. It says if your heart believes then you are justified and thus if you are justified then your mouth (actions) will profess your faith and you are saved.
So what saves? His grace, our faith. We can argue all we want and even about the parentheses I added with the added explanations, but the bottom line always has and always will add up to His grace, mercy and love and our faith and trust He is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do.
Argue all you want, believe you can lose salvation or not, get ticked because you think one sin is worse than another or those people don’t deserve salvation or not but the bottom line is simple.
He came so all people can know Him. All a person needs is faith and he or she can be saved. And He loves us enough that no matter how many people we think don’t deserve it, the truth is none of us deserve it and we all better realize that and get over it so we can really live and love like we belong to Him.
Because no matter who we are, or what sin we had and may still struggle with and whatever church we go to that teaches and believes in Him plus whatever type of service style we choose, if we have faith and really trust in Him, no matter how well we follow, we are all gonna be stuck in Heaven together so we need to start learning to love each other as He does now so we won’t have Heaven shock then.
Plus it will honor Him more and that is our real intent here and not our own agenda, right?
me n’ God love ya
