“Romans 10 and 9, that’s my verse,” commented Sue happily. “I put my name into both ‘thou’s'—If Sue shalt confess with her mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in her heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, Sue shalt be saved.”
But soon Sue wasn’t so happy and she started to worry about whether or not she was saved. Satan kept suggesting to her (for that was where the thoughts came from), “You saved? It’s just your imagination and there’s nothing to it.”
But then another thought came, this time from God’s Holy Spirit: “Read Romans 10:99That 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. (Romans 10:9).” She got out her Bible and found the verse. “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus"—“that’s me,” she said to herself. “And shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead,"—“and that’s me"; “thou shalt be saved"—“that’s me again, so I am saved; God says it.” She got out her pencil and wrote ME in the margin.
