NASB | Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 10:9 because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. |
Bible Question: What does it mean acknowledge though? |
Bible Answer: I think that if you really believe that Jesus was raised from the dead then you will confess it or acknowledge it with your lips (ie you will speak it out loud, publically tell others that you believe it, others will know what you believe). I think it would be wrong to say this passage is commanding evangelism, but some truths just beg to be shouted from the rooftops. Jesus is risen! Who was it who said that "Salvation is by faith alone, but saving faith is never alone"? |
