“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
This scripture was given to me, at first I wanted to use another scripture at the end of this paper because I did not understand what this word meant. Something was telling me to keep this scripture even though I did not know the meaning of it. I quoted this scripture to the Lord and asked him to give me a clear understanding and a message of what this scripture is saying to me. After that, I kept repeating this word out loud over and over and read it carefully. When I kept reading this scripture, I kept thinking of the word atonement when I got the understanding of it. What this scripture is saying to me is with our mouth, confession is made into our salvation. We should be atoned with our confessions to the Lord. Meaning, when we confess and call on the Lord. We should always mean what we say in confessing our sins. For example, if I do a lot of swearing when I am not in the church setting. That shows that I am not pleasing God. We should take action and that also means that I still need deliverance in that area. Sometimes when I get sad or angry I would slip up and swear. When that happens, I have to catch myself and ask God for forgiveness. What I mean is that action speaks louder than words. Put action into our scriptures when we serve the Lord. How I know I really got the understanding of salvation, is because I have meditated and prayed on it. Praying is powerful.
