If You Openly Declare That Jesus Is Lord And Believe In Your heart That God Raised Him From The Dead, You Will Be Saved

ROMANS 10:8-13

“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:8-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In these testing days, we are experiencing worldwide lawlessness, manufactured pestilence, extreme weather systems, persecution, wars, threats of wars, including the use of nuclear weapons. We are experiencing rioting and violence, and mental health issues and suicides have become common place within our communities.

We see corruption in our churches and governments, fake news and false prophets, in deed the fake news media are much  of the false prophets spoken about in the bible. 

We have experienced lockdowns, forced medication,  unprecedented controls and restrictions like never before, and our financial systems are collapsing.

All these things are signs of the promised return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

As biblical prophecies are coming to pass, many people are waking up to the truth and are turning to God in repentance. 

But how does one become saved?

The truth is, Jesus Christ has already done everything necessary for our salvation when He died on a cross. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.””

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

At the cross Jesus said, “it is finished (JOHN 19:30).

We don’t deserve salvation and we certainly cannot purchase  or earn it, neither will our good deeds or religious acts save us from the judgment. No amount of money or worldly status can save us from the wages of sin; indeed Jesus said to His disciples, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.””

‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:25-27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So how does one become a Christian and receive God’s wonderful gift of life?

These verses give us a beautiful answer; it’s not a complicated process, in fact it is quite simple and regardless of one’s history, skin colour, place of birth, past sin and future mistakes, God has a made a way for all.

My beloved, it was “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Can it be that by faith alone that one is saved? It doesn’t sound possible.

“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:8-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Give your life to Christ today, tomorrow may well be too late.

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
