SALVATION

READING: ROMANS 10:1-13

Verse 9: “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.”

The Bible consists of testaments and is therefore a book which testifies. One matter to which it powerfully testifies is our salvation, the gospel message. Today’s verse is one of those testimonies. This verse of scripture has an eternal application. Those who confess with their mouths and believe in their hearts are assured of a priceless salvation that will last for all time. That is truly an awesome provision, but salvation goes even further. We are also saved by the Spirit of the Lord each day and all day. The devil does set his traps, schemes, deceptions and tactics to try to keep us from God. However, as we continually confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts, we are constantly saved from those evil purposes. Our eternal salvation is assured and maintained through our daily salvation. That is the power of the great salvation granted to us. It has destroyed the works of the evil one. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
