It Is By Our Confession

That We Are Saved

Moses wrote this about being put right with God by obeying the Law: "Whoever obeys the commands of the Law will live." But what the scripture says about being put right with God through faith is this: "You are not to ask yourself, Who will go up into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down). "Nor are you to ask, Who will go down into the world below?" (that is, to bring Christ up from death). What it says is this: "God's message is near you, on your lips and in your heart" - that is, the message of faith that we preach. If you confess that Jesus is LORD and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. The scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."

Romans 10:5-11

Every day, people all over the world are being saved from sin and its consequences through faith in the Lord Jesus. Our mission as His followers is to be messengers who "preach the gospel of peace," telling others about the Savior, Jesus Christ.

There is no better news than the gospel - spread the word.
