Salvation is affirmed by your confession

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:10

Y

our most important part of your salvation is your confession that you have accepted and believe that Jesus is the Lord and that God raised Him up from death on the third day.

 Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved”

We need to understand the difference between when one confess Jesus by forsaking His wrong ways and when one is remorseful of His wrong ways and which to change. If you are remorseful of your wrong ways and you wish to repent without your confession of Jesus as Lord, you cannot be saved from your sins and salvation is not guaranteed for you.

During the time of John the Baptist, He baptised people by calling them to repentance, but there was no assurance of salvation then because they never confessed Jesus as their Lord and saviour.

If you are ready to forsake your wrong ways, do not do it remorsefully without your confession. Salvation is not emotional but it is a confession from your mouth that you have surrendered all to Jesus and that He is your Saviour.

Conclusion: Your salvation is guaranteed by your confession from your mouth that Jesus is Lord over your soul.
