CONFESS AND BELIEVE

"Can we know we are truly saved? The Bible says, 'If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord', and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved' (Romans 10:9). Confess and believe......and you will have salvation.

"Catch what the verse does not say:  live perfectly, be nice to everyone, don't mess up, always smile---and you will be saved! Can't do it. Impossible. Just confess and believe. Salvation will follow. It's so easy...yet so hard.

"God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since we know that, whatever happens, we will have eternal life. 'Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' (Romans 8:1 NIV). Watch out, world!"
