THOU SHALT BE SAVED

Scripture: Romans 10:9, 10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath
raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

  The message of salvation is the simplest message of the whole Bible.  The text verse tells us that we must confess that Jesus is who He claimed to be and that He did what He said that He did for our sins.  Pretty simple so far.  Then He said that we must believe that He died and that God raised Him from the dead on the third day.  This is salvation in its simplest form.  It never involves what we can do, but always is dependent on what Jesus has done on Calvary for us.  
    He shed His blood that our sins might be forgiven.  His precious blood provided what was needed to wash away every sin of every man.  It’s never about what we did or can do, it always about what He did.  Simple faith in the finished work of Christ on Calvary is sufficient to cleanse us from all sin. 
    The Bible tells us that all of our righteousness is as filthy rags.  Because of our sin we cannot work our way to Heaven, nor can we earn that salvation that He has wrought.  We are told that it is the gift of God.  Our part in salvation is confessing and believing, “For by grace are you saved”. The Bible teaches that we believe with our heart and confess with our mouth, meaning that it’s a simple act of faith in what Jesus has finished for us. 
    The gospel message involves the death, the burial and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Our part in receiving what He has done for us is to simply confess that we need it and then reach out by faith and claim it.  Friend, are you saved today?  If not, why not confess your sins, repent of those sins and receive Jesus and His salvation, right now?
