“The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart, that is, the word of faith that we proclaim. Because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Praise the Lord!

“For one who believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The Scripture says, no one who believes in him, will be put to shame; for there is no distinction between Jew or Greek, the same is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. But, how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in the one whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him?  And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent. As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”  My brothers and sisters in Christ, all of us have an obligation to profess Jesus as Lord, to not only tell our friends and our neighbors, but to move beyond our comfort zones and bring the Good News to strangers, and to unbelievers. My prayer, my aim, is not only to spread the Good News to those who already know God, but especially to those who do not God, without fear or shame. May God continually use me to bring him honor and glory as I spread the Good News, that all who believe and call upon the name of the Lord, no matter where they have been or what they have done, will be save. What an awesome God we serve!
