"I am saved tonight, sir," said a bright-faced boy at the close of a gospel meeting in Jamaica.
"Saved, are you? How did that come about?" I asked.
"It was the word that you spoke tonight," he answered. "What word was that?" I inquired. “‘If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.' While you were preaching I believed in my heart what you said, and when you finished I told Tommy about it," was his ready reply. Right beside him stood Tommy, who nodded in agreement.
Has anything like this ever happened in your life? "THOU SHALT BE SAVED" are wonderful words-the promise of God. But what are the terms? "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9, 109That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9‑10).
