It is God’s message of eternal salvation to those who repent and walk a godly life, a
life of righteousness in God’s eyes [according to God’s word, not man-made doctrine].
b. “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.” Jesus in John 15:22
39. God loves you and “has no pleasure in the death of one who dies. Therefore, turn [repent] and live.” Ezekiel 18:32 [In modern parlance, it means to “get a life” — a life with God!]
40. Apostle Paul teaches salvation in Romans 10:9-10. “[V9] If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.”
a. [V10A]: “For with the heart, one believes to righteousness.” This means your heart & everything inside of you now respects God and His commands. That you will now become a “slave to righteousness” putting aside all your prior sinful and evil ways.
b. [V10B]: “And, with the mouth, confession is made to salvation”. This means you now freely admit that God is real and you freely talk about how His Son has changed your life. Indeed, you are a witness to the world concerning how Jesus has brought you back to God.
