What God has provided for us to receive this gift of salvation is finished and fulfilled,
All we have to do in response to it, is this:
(Rom.10:6-13)
But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart,
'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is to bring Christ down) "or
'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).
But what does it say?
"The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is,
the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your
mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trust in him will never be put to shame."
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all
and richly blesses all who call on him,
For "EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants
the prophets. (Amos 3:7)
As spoken by the prophet Joel 2:28-32 when God says,
"I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophecy,
your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit
on those days.
I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire
and billows of smoke.
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
AND EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said,
among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
