Bible Question: In Romans 10:9-10 Is this all that have to be done to be saved. What about having a holy righteous life style. |
Bible Answer: Please dear, carefully read all verses in Romans (esp. ch.6). To receive the free gift of salvation you "only" must have a personal trust and reliance in our wonderful saviour Jesus Christ. That´s why it´s a gift, and not a reward for a past holy lifestyle. You release that faith, by confessing with your mouth, and that produces the miracle of salvation. But don´t stop there, or you´ll fool yourself. Then, Jesus sais: "abide in me", which means plainly to walk in the Spirit of Jesus, and not after the lusts and thoughts of the flesh. To do that is a miracle too and the only way to get there is to fully trust in the help the Spirit gives (Rom 8:26 - the Spirit helps us in our weakness - in many ways). Our job is to accept a holy lifestyle, accept the Spirit to cleanse us and protect our minds so we can live holy. It´s a miracle and those who trust and pray, will receve all the help he / she needs to live holy. This is foundational, THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT TRUE HOLY LIVING!!! (Otherwise Jesus himself would be a liar!) |
