Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word. If you want to leave comments or feedback, you can email jp0870584@gmail.com. I will confess with my mouth and believe with all my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead. God bless you.
The scripture is from Romans 10:9: “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.”
The devotion is titled He’s Alive! by Katelyn Molly. The author recounts the night that Jesus was arrested. Peter remembered that he denied he knew Jesus 3 times (Luke 22:57-62). He was very remorseful. In the morning, the women, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, Jesus’s mother told the disciples that the angels told them that He (Jesus) is alive. Peter ran to Jesus’ grave and saw the white linen cloths that Jesus was buried in. Jesus was nowhere in sight. “He departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.” (Luke 24:12). Jesus is alive! That changed everything not only for Peter, but everyone.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: According to today’s verse, what most you do to be saved? Have you done this?
Here is my response, yours may be different: I refer you back to Romans 10:9: “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.” Yes, I have done this.
A Personal Prayer for us: Dear God, thank you for sending Your son Jesus to die on the cross for us. Thank You for raising Him back to life and making a way for us to spend eternity with You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
