If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9-10
Romans 9:30-10:13
A) Righteousness culminated in Christ, known by all who believe
30-33) righteousness obtained by faith, not the law - by works. "stumbling stone" (Isa 8:14, 1 Peter 2:6-8)
1-2) heart's desire/prayer for Israelites be saved, zealous for God not based on knowledge
3) didn't know the righteousness of God, establish their own not submitting to God's righteousness
4) Christ culmination of law, righteousness for everyone who believes
B) Faith submits to God's word at the heart level
5-7) righteousness by law, live by them but righteousness by faith don't say in heart who will ascend to heaven (down or up)
John 6:60) Disciples, “hard understand, how accept it?”
(61-62) Jesus (aware complaining) “offended? What to think see Son of Man ascend to heaven again”
- Transfiguration was the first, the resurrection and ascension will the “again”
(63) Spirit alone gives eternal life, Human effort nothing; very words are spirit and life
(64-65) some don’t believe, only unless Father gives them
8) Word is near you, mouth and heart: faith we proclaim
- 9) If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10) heart believe God raised Jesus from dead, justified, mouth profess faith and saved
- Mouth speaks what's the in the heart (Matthew 12:34)
- Non-believers don't know God, glory HIm or give thanks - thinking futile hearts darkened (Romans 1:21-22)
- Believers - sons, God sent Spirit of his Son into our hearts, Spirit calls out Abba Father
11-13) Scripture affirms, believes not put to shame, all people (Romans 3:22, 29), Jesus Lord of all (Matthew 28:18)
- Isaiah 28:16
- 13) everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Joel 2:32)
