Romans 10:9-12
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”


Reflection
Our scripture today lets us know that this salvation is available to all. The big part that we miss is that it contains two parts. The first is that we can receive this gift through our profession of saying “Jesus Christ is Lord.” The second part of this is that we believe and live as if Christ were the Lord of our life. What do you think it means to live with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? What does this look like in your life?
