Romans 10

By your gift of faith, Father, I know I do not have to go looking for Christ Jesus. I do not wonder if he will come down from heaven or if he will come up from the dead. I do not have to go to some special man, or place, or church to find my Lord Jesus.

I know Christ is in me and near me. He dwells in me forever through his word, and in the person of the Holy Spirit. I have been born from above, and my words are now the very words of God, and in my heart, I know that you, Father, raised Christ from the dead.

With my heart, I believe, and with my mouth, I agree and receive and apply salvation. For whoever believes will not be put to shame.

My background, my gender, my past sins, do not matter, thank God, because you, Father, have chosen to be rich to all who call on you.

By grace through your gift of faith, you chose me. You put me in the path of good preachers. They spoke the gospel to me. I heard the glad tidings, and I believed unto salvation, light, and eternal light.
