DAD'S DAILY BREAD

⁹ Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.¹⁰ For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. ROM 10

I was 8 years old and I was crying my eyes out at the Christmas Eve service when I told my mom I wanted to follow Jesus and I wanted Him to be the Lord of my life… She took me home and we got out her Bible and she took me straight to this verse. So much has happened since then… but when I read this passage I still get that same feeling in my stomach. I am here to confess that Jesus is Lord! And I confess that I’m a sinner who needs His saving grace. I confess that Jesus is Lord. But no matter how many times I say those words it wont change a thing if it doesn’t start in my heart. I believe that Jesus really is who He says He is and that He can do everything that He says He can do. So, now I will make my confession by how I live out the rest of my life. Your actions will reveal your heart. Am I going to surrender my life and serve Him or will I just continue to go through life only trying to make myself comfortable…?

I think our confession also includes telling people about Jesus. If you have news that it is so good that It can literally change someone’s life how could you keep it to yourself? We have been given a light in a lost and extremely dark world. Do not be selfish and keep all the light to yourself! Spread the light! Spread the love!! Don’t forget where God has brought you from! Save as many lost souls as you can! Speaking out openly about Jesus is a great way to confirm your own salvation. Don’t be scared. It will help you grow in faith and trust and courage… All from just telling people about what Christ has done in your life. Gospel=Good News. Start spreading the Gospel.

APPLICATION:

I want to make a point to talking to others about Jesus. Especially when I’m at work. You have those moments when you look back and think, man I really could have been more godly. Or why did I do that or say that or why didn’t I talk about Jesus… I don’t want to waste any more opportunities to tell others about Jesus. Jesus saved me from death and a life of misery. He showed me a better way. I want to tell others about Him and what He has done in my life! Stay in the word! Make sure I’m using the proper filter when I’m going through my day! Memorize scripture. Be thankful!

IN HIS NAME!!
