Romans 10:9-10

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and  with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Devotion.

Salvation only comes to us through Jesus Christ., so when we confess with our mouth we put our faith in action. And when we believe in our heart we are affirming that He was triumphant over death, and He has the power and authority to forgive us, transform our lives, lead and reconcile us back to our Creator God.

Prayer (for you)

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your amazing grace, Your Plan of Salvation to save and redeem all who come to You seeking to be saved.

Thank You for sending Jesus to save me, and thank You Lord Jesus, for being my Saviour, Redeemer, Advocate, Intercessor, Good Shepherd and my best Friend.

I confess with my mouth that You are the only way of salvation – You are the Saviour and Redeemer of the human race.

And I believe by faith that You died and was resurrected, You were triumphant over death – You arose, praise the Lord, and now You are in Heaven making Intercession for me and all of us who believe and have faith in You.

O Lord Jesus, please forgive me, transform me, lead, guide and direct me, and save me in Your eternal Kingdom.

And make me part of the family of God, washed in the fountain and cleansed by Your precious, Holy blood.

I give You thanks and praise and I love and adore You.

Thank You for Your great sacrifice of love to save and redeem me.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
