Bible Question:
Greetings dear friends: Does this verse make salvation too easy? Or is there truth here which will cause all other truth about the person of Christ to fall into line? What does it mean to confess Jesus as Lord? How does belief in the resurrection of Christ fit into all of this? Or does my belief in the bodily resurrection of Christ mean that I have also accepted other things relative to the gospel? Peace in his name Robert |
Bible Answer: It's just not the whole story. Paul told the Romans a few paragraphs earlier that they were buried with Christ in baptism...so they too might walk in newness of life (Rom. 6:3-5). I have no problem with Romans 10:9,10, but it isn't everything the Bible says on salvation. Good day. |
