The Message of Salvation to All
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom 10:10
Confession is made... One is not saved by his mouth’s conversation, (meaning many, who by their head knowledge say they are saved, but really are not), but rather, the mouth testifies readily of the grace of God in Christ which has been received by faith (for those who have been truly saved and their words are coming from their heart).
Confession is the Greek word which basically means to say the same thing, or to agree with someone. The person who confesses Jesus as Lord, agrees with the Father’s declaration that Jesus is Savior and Lord.
The
true order is given here in Rom. 10:10 : For it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified (lit., “it is believed unto
righteousness”), and it is with your mouth that you confess and are
saved (lit., “it is confessed unto salvation”). Yet these are not
two separate steps to salvation. They are chronologically together.
Salvation comes through acknowledging to God that Christ is God and
believing in Him.
