Saved!

For Wednesday, October 4, 2023:

Romans 10:9 NLT: “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Being saved by faith was a new concept for many people, and it still is nowadays. Most expect that good works or obeying the law would justify a person before God. And since salvation is so valuable, Jesus offering it as a free gift is unexpected.

As Paul writes to the Christians in Rome, he states the way to salvation over and over again. He doesn’t want any confusion over the path to eternity in the presence of our Father. Jesus said he would go ahead a prepare a place in his Father’s house for all who believe.

"For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” (Romans 10:10)
