Title: Faith unto Salvation (Romans 10:9-10)
Contents
① “Believe with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation” (verse 10). ② Confession with the mouth is the beginning, foundation, and completion of works. ③ Because it is said that faith without works is dead faith (James 1:17). Inner faith becomes living faith through outward acts of faith confessed with the mouth, becoming perfect and receiving grace that leads to salvation. ④ Our Savior Jesus’ work of salvation began with his mouth and was completed with his mouth (John 19:30).
First, the faith that confesses the good Lord
① “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want anything...” David was greatly blessed by confessing and testifying to the good God. ② Just as people who are the image and likeness of God reject those who treat them negatively as bad people, so God rejects those who treat Him with negative preconceived notions. ③ Therefore, he repeats that he is a good God, saying, “You will not give good things to those who ask....” (Matthew 7:11) ④ Anytime, anywhere, in any event, always, a God of love, a kind God, a God of forgiveness... We must keep reminding ourselves of a good God, confessing it, and giving thanks. ⑤ We must resolutely abandon the prejudices about God, such as a stingy God, a strict God, a God who punishes, a God who judges, etc., and be filled with faith that He is a good God. ⑥ When Jesus loved his hometown and visited him to give him the power of salvation, when he spoke with a bad preconceived notion, saying that he was the son of ignorant Joseph, the work of salvation grace stopped and Jesus left his hometown.
Second, the faith that acknowledges the presence of the Lord
Third, the faith that acknowledges the Lord of the grace of redemption.
① “The blood of his Son Jesus will cleanse us from all sins” (1 John 1:7) “
In the Son we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.” (Colossians 1:14) “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18) … will be opened” (Zechariah 13:1) ② Lord! I... I have committed such a scarlet sin, but I believe that the blood of the Lamb has already cleansed me. Thank you, Lord, for erasing sin, the source of hell, forever. As we continue to confess, confess, proclaim, and testify with our mouths, sin and evil lose their power and are uprooted and thrown away, and the devil, who enters into us through sin and produces all kinds of distrust, injustice, disease, and destruction, flees. ③ When, where, and when a believer does something, he always remembers the grace of the Lord's blood for forgiveness of sins and the grace of reconciliation, chews the cud, speaks with his mouth, and bears witness to the devil. The devil runs away. The accusation of the devil ceases. The history of the devil is destroyed and stopped.
Fourth, the faith that confesses the blessing of the Lord
① “…I will bless you… and you will become a blessing” (Genesis 12:1~3) “…I will set you above the nations of the world, and you will be blessed in the city and in the fields, and you will be born out of your own body. Blessed shall be the fruit of the land, and the young of the animals of your house, and the young of the flock; blessed shall be thy wine and bread bowl; blessed shall be thou when thou come in, and blessed shall thou go out." (Deuteronomy 28:1-6) ). ② “He has blessed us with spiritual blessings” (Ephesians 1:3) ③ God is the God of blessing who desires to bless us. Lord, I will live according to your word, so please bless me. I believe you will bless me. Oh God! Thank you for blessing me, my home, and my business. I believe that you will continue to bless me even greater. ④ Spiritual clothes, material clothes, children's clothes, time clothes, health clothes... I believe you will receive them today. ⑤ Oh! The Lord is the Lord of blessings. The Lord is very pleased to bless you. I will be a blessed person. I believe that all things will work together to make it a blessing. ... Hallelujah!
