Lord of All

In his letter to the church at Rome, the Apostle Paul wrote: 

. . . if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person 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.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  (Romans 10:9-13, NASB)

Paul tells how we must be saved:  “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”  Paul goes on to explain:  “For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”  To be saved, then, we must confess Jesus as Lord; we must also believe wholeheartedly that God raised Him from the dead to life everlasting.  So then, it’s a matter of our hearts and our mouths and if if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person 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.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.   (Romans 10:9-13, NASB)

Further, Paul explains, that it doesn’t matter who we are, that we can must all call upon the name of Jesus to be saved.  After all, Jesus is the Lord of us all!

Has anyone else noticed that this year is just flying by? 
I was recently called to jury duty by the Norfolk Circuit Court.  After much explanation, Sue got me out of it. 
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, AND FOR GOD’S PEOPLE ISRAEL!
