Romans 10:10 “for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”
Most of my life, I have read this verse as a means to become a Christian. Even thought that is true, this verse is power packed for daily salvation (the word salvation means deliverance). The way this verse was written in the original Greek will help shed some light. It actually says, “In the heart is belief, and in the mouth is confession.” Simply, in our union with Christ, the Lord has placed belief in our heart and the confession of truth in our mouth, which results in being set free. Consequently, early this morning, the Lord reminded me of this truth. I awakened very early and immediately the enemy was hurling lies, which was causing stress and anxiety. I began to combat the lies by confessing various scriptures concerning my identity in Christ and the victory that He had already accomplished on the cross. As I continued to quote His promises, the peace of God flooded my soul. The confession of the truth with my tongue, brought salvation in that moment, and it made what James shared in his epistle a practical reality-“resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7).”
