He writes, “The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.” (Romans 10: 8)
He promises, “Everyone who believes on Him is not put to shame.” (Romans 10: 11) “For everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord is saved.” (Romans 10: 13)
“This is the message of faith that we proclaim: If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raises Him from the dead, you are saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.”
Submit yourself to God’s righteousness. His method of snatching you from death may seem counterproductive or too easy; but if you know you have need of God’s gift, then accept it. He does not deny us. He says, “Allow the little children to come to Me, for of such is the Kingdom of God.”
Our faith is close to us; in our hearts and in our mouths. We believe; we confess. God forgives.
