Bible Question: Are we saved when we confess with our mouth or have a heart change? Never mind those who are dumb (cannot speak). |
Bible Answer: Greetings Searcher56: Just a thought on Romans 10:9 "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus" or (Jesus as Lord) To be willing to accept Jesus as Lord could be connected with our repentance when we take our place as a lost sinner and acknowledge that he is Lord and Savior. "and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" Romans 10:9 When we rest by faith in the finished work of Christ it is God which works within our heart and gives us eternal life. In John 1:13 talks about the new birth which is of God or in John 3 where it is referred to as "born from above". It is my humble opinion that the confession with the mouth is directly connected to the work within the heart. In Christ Robert. |
