Romans 10:9-13 Jesus is His Name . . . Have confessed Him as your Savior and Lord?
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.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:8-15 Have you heard the Word that can save you right now? Well, I have it right here for you to read, believe, and receive. It will change your life as it did mine!
The Word that saves is right here,
as near as the tongue in your mouth,
as close as the heart in your chest.
It's the Word of faith that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the core of our preaching. 9 Say the welcoming Word to God — "Jesus is my Master" — embracing, body and soul, God's work of doing in us what He did in raising Jesus from the dead. That's it. You're not "doing" anything; you're simply calling out to God, trusting Him to do it for you. That's salvation. 10 With your whole being you embrace God setting things right, and then you say it, right out loud: "God has set everything right between Him and me!"
11 Scripture reassures us, "No one who trusts God like this — heart and soul — will ever regret it." 12 It's exactly the same no matter what a person's religious background may be: the same God for all of us, acting the same incredibly generous way to everyone who calls out for help. 13 "Everyone who calls, 'Help, God!' gets help."
14 But how can people call for help if they don't know Who to trust? And how can they know Who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? 15 And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That's why Scripture exclaims,
A sight to take your breath away!
Grand processions of people
telling all the good things of God!
