If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
Have you ever been asked, “How do I become Christian?” This verse beautifully explains Salvation is as close as our own lips and hearts. When we believe in our heart that the sting of death was removed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are made righteous before God and when we confess with our mouth that Jesus is the Lord, meaning confessing Him as our God who is the author of life, the Creator, Risen Savior, Redeemer, we will be saved. However, if we only believe in our heart, but do not speak with our mouth, others will not recognize us as a saved person; they will still consider us as an unbeliever. Just as when a child is born and if the child does not cry, it creates a doubt in our minds if the child is truly alive or not, in a similar way when we are born again by believing in Jesus only in our hearts and not confess Him as the Lord with our mouth, the world will doubt if we are truly born again. Even Jesus Christ will confess us before the Father if we confess Jesus before men (Matt. 10:32,33).
If we have this Salvation experience, on this Resurrection Easter Sunday, we can boldly sing O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? And thank God for the Victory He gave us through our Lord Jesus Christ!
