Title (I) 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 and foundation of action. ③ Faith without works is dead faith (James 1:17), so inner faith becomes living faith through outward acts of faith that we confess with our mouths, and we become perfected and receive grace that leads to salvation.
First, the faith that confesses the good Lord
① “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want anything...” David was greatly blessed by acknowledging and bearing witness to the good God. ② Just as a person who is the image and likeness of God rejects those who treat him as a bad person and negatively, so God rejects those who treat him with negative preconceived notions. ③ Therefore, He repeated that He is a good God, “will He not give good things to those who ask Him...” (Matthew 7:11). ④ Anytime, anywhere, in any event, always, a God of love, a kind God, a God of forgiveness... We must continually remind ourselves of a good God, confess it, and give thanks. ⑤ We must resolutely abandon the negative preconceived notions of God, such as a stingy God, a strict God, a God who punishes, a God who judges... 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 Joseph who was ignorant and ignorant, 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 redemptive grace
① “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sins” (1 John 1:7) “In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of our sins” (Colossians 1:14) “Your sins shall be as scarlet.” They shall also become white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18) “In that day a fountain will be opened for washing away dirt” (Zechariah 13:1) ② Lord! I have committed such a scarlet sin, but I believe that the blood of Jesus, the Lamb, has already cleansed me. Thank you, Lord, for erasing sin, the source of hell, forever. When we continually 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, produces all kinds of distrust, injustice, disease, and destruction, flee. 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. The devil runs away. The accusation of the devil ceases. The devil's history ceases to be destroyed.
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, Blessed will be the offspring, the produce of the land, the young of the livestock and the young of your flock; blessed shall be your basket and your bowl of bread dough; blessed shall you come in and go out” (Deuteronomy 28:1-6) ② “He has blessed us with spiritual blessings” (Ephesians 1:3) ③ God is a God of blessing who desires to bless us. Lord, I will live according to your word, so please bless me. I believe that 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 that you will give 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!
