Romans 10:8b-13 – Jesus is Lord!
Key Verses: (NCV)
- 9: “If you use your mouth to say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.” – In Paul’s continuing argument that one cannot earn his way into heaven through good works, he provides us all a very straight forward guideline to salvation.
- 10: “We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved.” – Once we place our faith in God, He does the rest.
- 12b: “The same Lord is the Lord of all and gives many blessings to all who trust in Him.” – This is Paul’s statement to those people who attempt to confine God into their own beliefs and traditions. God is universal. He is the Lord of all. Trust in Him.
- 13: “As the scripture says, ‘Anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved.’” – This is a quote from the prophet Joel that establishes the universal accessibility to God.
- Can you say: “Jesus is Lord?” Do you “you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead?”
Promises of the Gospel:
Paul continues to stress that our salvation comes through believing in Jesus and no amount of good works can ever be sufficient in winning God’s approval. The only thing to remember is: “If you use your mouth to say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.” All other issues, worries, concerns, debates, misunderstandings, and questions fall into God’s hands. When we trust God with everything in our life, when we freely give everything to Him, then we will be made right by His love. He will shape us and form us into a life of holiness that is called discipleship.
