But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[a] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[b]
Romans 10.8-11
Salvation has been made into this complex, hard to attain, even harder to hold onto notion... but it isn't even a notion. It is a thing. A very possessable, accessible thing. This "thing" is acceptance and forgiveness from GOD and entrance into enternal life with Him.
How easy is it?
Numero Uno: Confess with your mouth that "Jesus is Lord." This takes control of the body and all it's desires that aren't in line with the Word.
Numero Dos: Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. This takes control of your emotions/ feelings. It also aligns your faith in the true God.
Anyone who deos these two things, according to Romans 10.8-11, is saved!
