that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9

There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

A reflection

According to the Scriptures, we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, who is central to our salvation (John 3:16; Acts 4:12). This salvation is described as a gift of grace from God, not based on our own works but through His mercy (Ephesians 2:8; Titus 3:5). Belief in Jesus' lordship and His resurrection is emphasized, highlighting the importance of faith in our relationship with God (Romans 10:9).
