THE LIGHT OF GRACE NO COPYRIGHT
A
good idea is to read the entire section the verse refers to.
Romans
10:10
With the heart one believes and is justified, and with the
mouth confession is made and is saved." This verse emphasizes
that faith in Jesus Christ is the basis for both righteousness and
salvation.
What is in your mind/heart flows out of your
life and mouth.
What are you harboring evil in your
heart?
If you are a believer, you have the peace of God,
which is that a genuine and deep faith in your heart in Jesus as the
Son of God and Messiah is what leads to righteousness before God. It
is not enough to have an intellectual understanding, but a surrender
of the heart to Him.
With the mouth confession is made for
salvation:
Verse 10 is closely related to verse 9, which says:
"That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved."
In John 10 1-6 Jesus says
Truly,
truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door,
but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But
he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the
doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own
sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his
own, he goes before them, and they follow him, because they know his
voice. But a stranger they will never follow; on the contrary, they
will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.
" Jesus spoke to them with this parable, but they did not
understand what he was talking about.
Many doors are open
to us, we can enter through different doors and live in the life we
enter, it is the sea that fills us. But Jesus clearly says that
He is the next door into the kingdom of God. Those who do not enter
through the door Jesus are thieves and robbers who have not entered
the kingdom of God.
Which door did you enter through? What
do you live in? In Jesus?
In Romans 8.1 the apostle Paul
tells us. So then there is no condemnation for those who are in
Jesus.
Many have condemnation in their lives, both from
others and from themselves. That would not be possible if we were in
Jesus with our whole life in all areas.
It is not us but
Jesus who should live his life in us, and out through us. Many try to
live in their own strength they want to justify themselves but they
close out the righteous life of Jesus in Him.
We live by
the hand of God in His Spirit, for the glory of Jesus
When
Jesus cannot do anything because of the people's unbelief, their no
thanks and denial of Jesus. Neither can we. We have the right to
shake the dust off our feet and not cast pearls before swine. It is
not always that we should try to outwit people in debates.
It
is only inside Jesus by the life of the Holy Spirit in us. It is only
when we have entered through the right door Jesus that we have the
true life of God.
We are no longer of this world around
us, they are a depraved, twisted generation that actually looks like
chickens running around confused without heads, their heads are cut
off, they do not want Jesus as the head.
We must be
extremely aware. Which doors the world offers we can go into and say
no thanks-
We must not adapt to this world around us, not
allow the world to transform us.
Extremely aware, without
being suspicious of our brothers and sisters in Jesus. We are all
brothers and sisters in Jesus. We can only be that if everyone has
entered through the true door Jesus.
In Jesus we are loved
and forgiven, not outside of Jesus. Romans 4:7,8 Blessed are they
whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Romans
5:1 Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Are we there?
Then it is as
Isaiah 54:17 says. No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and every tongue that riseth up against thee, thou shalt
condemn. This is the portion of the servants of the LORD, the
righteousness that I give them, saith the LORD.
In John 3:18,19
Jesus says.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he
that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Further in John 5:24 the
Master Jesus says. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word
and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come into
judgment, but has passed from death to life.
Many are
slaves to the law, listen to what the apostle Paul says here.
Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by
becoming a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who
hangs on a tree”),
In John 15:4 Jesus says. If you
remain in me, I will remain in you. Just as the branch cannot bear
fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you unless
you remain in me.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed
away; behold, new things have come!
BE TRANSFORMED BY
JESUS. ENTER THROUGH THE DOORS OF JESUS WITH ALL YOUR
HEART:
Amen
