The Right Stuff!

The Right Stuff!

that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 WEBBE

The process of salvation is laid out as simply as only the source, author and sustainer can. It is the whole essence of the good news we are asked to share, and it is all about the One who died to guarantee life eternal. It is never about a feel-good doctrine, where I am defined by what I do alone. The right stuff is beyond what I do; it is fundamentally about who I know and belong to.

How do I get the right stuff: my mouth and my heart must align. One of man's greatest abilities is pretence. We say one thing with our lips and mean the very opposite with our hearts. We keep up appearances; we put up a front and people don't know what we are. But for all who will get all that God intends for them, today's extract is just the right message. I must confess the Lordship of Jesus with my lips AND my heart must align with that postion by faith. It is not one of the two; it has to be the two.

Salvation is about my acceptance of His Lordship, by my words, action and heart. At the centre of all I get to gain, which is eternal life, is what I do with Jesus. If I accept Him as Lord and Saviour, I get to be saved and gain eternal life. Imagine what it would mean to reject Him also. Think deep about what lies ahead, and ask God to lead you to making the right decision. His time of favour is here.
