Nutshell Gospel


“But what does it say? ‘The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ – that is the Word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation, for the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.’” Romans 10:8-11

The basics and rational of faith, all in one verse: “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved”.. Sometimes if you have time to only memorise a few verses in your lifetime, you can find some that tell the entire story easily and clearly. The one above is a delight for your lips.

“’Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in Heaven.’” Matthew 10:32

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
