Taking a Stand

Walking in the Word

Romans 10:9-10

⁹ that 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. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

  

Responding to the Word

Pictured are some of the men signing the Declaration of Independence.  That document sits in Washington, DC today under some very impressive bullet-proof glass.  They even forbid photography!  Why?  Because it's the document that symbolizes our entire country.  It declares the our country's sole independence from all other nations.  Romans 10:9 is kind of like that for me.  Many people wonder how you can "know for sure" you're saved.  It's a declaration involving the heart and the mouth.  It's a declaration from God to His People.

Praying through the Word

Thank You Father for never having a shadow of turning.  You are the same Yesterday, today and forever and we praise You.  Thank you for your Word which gives light in this dark and sometimes uncertain world. Father I confess Your Son Jesus with my mouth and I BELIEVE You raised Him to life again.  I pray we're never ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the POWER of God to everyone who believes. In Jesus' Name, Amen
