Romans Chapter 10 is one of the most awesome chapters in the Bible. Paul has documented how people have tried to re-establish connection with God by keeping the law but it hasn’t worked. In vs 4 he says Jesus fulfilled everything the law was supposed to do and believing in Him is the way we will be saved. He also says that salvation is for everyone. Verse 9 gives the most clear, concise description you will find for the way to get to heaven and it all rests on faith. If you openly declare that Jesus is in fact The Lord AND you believe He died as a sacrifice for our sins and was raised back to life YOU WILL BE SAVED. Very simple. But notice it’s a two part process. Verse 10 says that first you must believe. That’s where the faith comes in. You have to truly believe this in your heart. Then you have to be willing to say it—to openly declare your faith in Jesus. If you do that you are now justified in God’s eyes and heaven is your reward. This is super-inclusive in that it’s available to everyone. But it’s restrictive because Paul will go on to tell us there is no other way to get to heaven. I went a little longer than normal because this passage is so exciting to me. But all you have to know is those 24 words in verse 9–that’s the gospel in a nutshell🙏🏽
