Romans 10:8-10 (ESV Strong's)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, 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. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
The words of the Law are beyond us, in that it is impossible for man to keep them. The word of faith brings the salvation of God within reach for all of mankind.
The word spoken into our lives needs a word of confession from the one who receives it. Belief justifies and confession saves. Hearing and doing reflects the perfection of the word of God.
The word has drawn near. We must make it our own.
