That 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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." Romans 10:9-10

I would be remiss if I didn't conclude 20+ devotionals on the topic of faith without a means to a clear call to accept what I've written. The Good News or the "Gospel" is contained in the verses above. There's no trickery to it. It's a fairly simple salvation message. It's not rocket science or brain surgery, and yet it's deceptively simple. Of course there's the theology behind the verses that is powerful and wonderful and yet very simple: God reached out to man through his Son Jesus. The Son of God became a man: fully God, fully man. He died, was buried, rose on the third day, and ascended to the Throne of God.

If you are reading this and you don't know at all what I'm talking about, I'd love to correspond with you about it. No pressure, nothing to sell, no gimmicks, no trickery, just a good ol' fashioned heart to heart (via email).

Don't let the simplicity of the words fool you.
