Subject: Is confession necessary for salvation? |
Bible Note: The process apparently includes--and this before the process as depicted in Romans 10--what is said in 1:18-20. God began the process by leaving a witness of Himself in all Creation. The Cross is also a powerful testimony of God's love (Romans 5:6ff) and 'draws' all men. We love because God FIRST loved us. So, prior to the 'process' that you accurately point to in Romans 10, is the 'heads up' that God gives to all men. By His indiscriminate gift, He has put the ball in man's court-so to speak-requiring man to respond. It is pretty clear that everyone on the judgment day will have heard. Good day. |
