The Message of Salvation to All
9That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
Romans 10:17 (ESV)
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
