C – CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD

God has offered us a free gift—salvation, He sent His one and only Son to die in our place. Through the blood of Jesus, we are offered the gift of the forgiveness of our sin and the promis of eternal life with Him in heaven. BUT…we must receive that gift. We must confess our sins 1 John 1:9 and confess (or proclaim) our faith (belief) in the death, burial and resurrection of God’s son, Jesus Christ. Confessing with our mouth requires an outward, public action, not a secret, hidden, timid faith. The Apostle Paul boldly proclaimed his faith so that others could hear and be saved. God’s plan of salvation is freely offered to everyone.

Romans 10:9-10

If you declare 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 profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:13

for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 14:11

It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “every knee will bow before me”
