Belief
Scripture: 9 So if you believe deep in your heart that God raised Jesus from the pit of death and if you voice your allegiance by confessing the truth that “Jesus is Lord,” then you will be saved! 10 Belief begins in the heart and leads to a life that’s right with God; confession departs from our lips and brings eternal salvation. 11 Because what Isaiah said was true: “The one who trusts in Him will not be disgraced.” 12 Remember that the Lord draws no distinction between Jew and non-Jew—He is Lord over all things, and He pours out His treasures on all who invoke His name 13 because as Scripture says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13 The Voice) Faith is not something we do. It is a response to what God has done already on our behalf, the response of a spirit restless in a fragmented world. When we have the belief in our heart that “Jesus is Lord”, it will lead to a life that is right with God. There is eternal salvation, but there is also the life we are living today and tomorrow. I want that life to be one that is right with God. Thank You, Father, that my belief that “Jesus is Lord” has led to my eternal salvation. But I am also so thankful for my life and the knowledge that I am right with You. AMEN O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of Your name fills the earth! Your glory is higher than the heavens. I look at all You have made and rejoice. Psalm 8
