Romans 10

Romans 10: 8-13 (NIV84)

'8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess 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 confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile–the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”'


Romans 10 is kind of short but it's still really good.

Everything here is pretty basic, our salvation changes us from the inside out.  We believe in our hearts and we are made clean, we also confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord.

I guess it all just boils down to this, our actions are a result of what's in our hearts.  If we believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, than our actions and our words will reflect that.   Our words are important.  How will anyone know what we believe if we don't proclaim it.

I guess I need to stop underestimating the importance of words.

Anyways I wish I had more tonight but I don't.


Thanks for reading anyway, JDWayt.
