It Is With Your Heart That You Believe and Are Justified

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. 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. — Romans 10:9-10 

We are saved by the blood of the Lamb when we believe in Jesus.

And we are then justified through Him.

When we believe that God raised Him from the dead and Jesus came alive again.

With our hearts we believe.

With our mouths we profess our faith in Christ.

And with that profession, we are saved from our sin.

All Are Justified Freely by His Grace

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. — Romans 3:23-24 

We have all sinned.

And everyone falls short of God's glory.

Redemption came to us by the death of Christ Jesus.

And we are justified freely.

By the grace of our Lord Jesus.

You Will Be Saved

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. 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. — Romans 10:9-10 

When I declared Jesus is Lord, I became a Christian.

When I believed in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, I was saved.

For it was with my heart that I believed and was justified.

And it is with my mouth that I profess my faith in Jesus.

He has saved me from sin and death.

All Have Sinned and Fall Short

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. — Romans 3:23-24 

God created us but in Adam we all sinned.

As a result, we've all missed the mark, and we all fall short of God's glory.

We are freely justified by His grace.

And Jesus Christ died to redeem us by His blood.

I am loved and redeemed!

Amazing grace.

You Were Sanctified

You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. — 1 Corinthians 6:11

We were washed and sanctified.

We were justified in the name of Jesus.

And we have been filled by the Spirit of our God.

Today Kirk was out in the yard.

Our neighbor took this great picture of him.

And he even got the full moon in the background.

Soaring high above Cowles Mountain.

Amazing.

Justified by Faith

So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. — Galatians 3:24-25

We were under the law before Christ came into our lives.

Now we are justified by faith.

Previously the law was our guardian.

Now that we have faith in Christ, we are no longer under a guardian.

Today I went to the dentist for the first time in about 8 months.

It was my dental hygienist Julie's birthday, so her room was decorated.

I also saw our dentist, Dr. Russ, whose dad just passed away.

He was there with his sister Mary just before his dad died.

So we had a chance to talk about what a blessing it was, even though it is hard to lose a parent.

His dad died on their anniversary. How cool is that.

God's timing is amazing!
