Romans 10:9 · KJV

"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."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁷Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

⁸But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

⁹That 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.

¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

¹¹For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHopeAwe

Think about how proud Jesus would be of you. He said that if we say that we believe in Him in front of other people here on earth, He will speak up for us in heaven. When we say that Jesus is our Lord, we are just admitting what is true. But for Christians, it's more than that, because at the end of time, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess His name. When we say we believe in Jesus, we are looking forward to His victory, which we will also share.

Prayer

My Lord, mighty God, is in Your Son. I adore Him and thank Him for His atoning offering. He has my gratitude for conquering the grave. I am in awe of His gracious sacrifice and victory. Jesus is supreme. Jesus is my Lord, and I'll say it again because I know how sweet it sounds to Your ears. I appreciate how great You are to be willing to make such a sacrifice. I give thanks in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Carpenter. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
