Your
need today is to receive the Lord Jesus Christ
— to
be filled with Him — to start a relationship with Him! Practically,
how can Christ enter into your being? Romans 9 tells us that we
are vessels, and Romans 10 shows us the way to fill the vessels.
Every vessel has a mouth, an opening. He only asks that you open
your mouth and call on His name in a sincere definite way. The Lord
“is rich unto all that call upon Him” (Rom.10:12).
No
matter what you've done, or how bad you are — you can be saved!
(Romans
10:13)
“EVERYONE
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”
(Acts
4:12)
And there is salvation in no other,
for neither is there another name under heaven given among men in
which we must be saved. |

(Romans
6:23)
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 10:9,10,13,14)
(9) That
if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your
heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
(10) For with the
heart there is believing unto righteousness, and with the mouth
there is confession unto salvation.
(13) For “whoever
calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”. (14)
How then shall they call upon Him into whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe into Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without one who proclaims Him?
Christ
needs our participation in Him.
Since we have been made vessels to contain Him, we need to believe
with our heart to receive Him, and to call on Him continually
with our mouth to take Him in, thus allowing His riches to fill
our empty vessel (9:21-23).
Christ
being raised from the dead
was invisible; hence, it requires
our believing. Christ’s death has redeemed
us; it is His life in resurrection alone that can save us. Therefore,
only when we believe in the great miracle that God performed in
Christ in raising Him from the dead can we be both redeemed and
saved.
To believe with the heart is toward God; to confess with the mouth
is toward man. To believe with the heart is to believe in Christ,
who was glorified and raised by God from the dead; to confess
with the mouth is to confess that Jesus, who was despised and
rejected by man, is Lord. Both are conditions for our being justified
and saved.
One who believes into the Lord Jesus, and all He accomplished
through His death and resurrection will surely call on the Lord’s
name. Calling on the Lord results in immediate salvation (v.13).
(John 14:6)
Jesus told him, “ I am the way, the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me.”
DO YOU WANT TO RECIEVE THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR? As
an example prayer below — Pray with a very sincere heart
to our Heavenly Father — you will receive Him!
Heavenly
Father, I have sinned against You. I ask You to forgive me of
all my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and
rose again. Father, I give You my life to do with as You wish,
and to direct my path. I ask Jesus Christ to come into my life
and into my heart. Lord Jesus I pray that Your will shall be done
in my life. This I ask in Jesus name. Amen!
