Mat 26 v 17-35; Rom 10 v 1-21
The true word of faith

“…that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved...” (Rom 10 v 9)

How many professing Christians do you know that base their belief on the above scripture, without bearing any fruits of righteousness?

I believe we are justified when we accept the death and resurrection of Jesus as atonement for our sin. This is followed by our sanctification process that continues until the day we transition to the next life. Many of us come from a background of “Churchianity”, where we have been taught certain principles regarding the Christian faith, which do not necessarily resonate with the word of God.

Christ, the Living Word, is not merely a concept taught on a Sunday at Church, although this is a good starting place for those seeking the true word of faith. Jesus, should be near us, in our mouth and in our heart (vers 8), each and every waking moment.

He should be the standard by which we breathe and live. How will we acknowledge our faithfulness to Him, just like Peter did and yet we fall short every day? He (Peter) made a promise that he would rather die than to deny the Lord Jesus and even he failed. How much more are we susceptible to so many half-truths that have been proclaimed over the centuries and even more so today…

“…for WHOEVER will call on the Name of the Lord will be saved…” (vers 13)

Can it be this simple to get saved or does this sound too good to be true?
There isn’t some magic recipe, nor is this privilege only for the “elect”.

God is very clear when He says that anyone can be saved and it is written; “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3 v 16) [NIV].

If you are seeking the truth regarding God and His Word, you have come to the right place. Join us on this journey as we take up our cross to follow Christ and even though this will not be an easy path, we rest assured knowing that He will not disappoint.
