Not only with the mouth, but also with the heart.

because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10: 9-10

A believer declares that the entire community has been accepted as Jesus Christ and Savior and Lord of their lives.

But what does it mean to confess Jesus as Lord? And why is it so important? I want to encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus, our Savior and our Lord. It is important to reflect on this topic again, because we often do not realize how our society influences our way of living the faith.

Why is it important to understand that Christ is my Lord?

Live in a society of "many options", "Today".

This is the reason why many do not want to become children of God, because they say:

"This time they work for you, but not for me!"

That is why it is important to explain to new believers that not only is confessing Jesus Christ with his mouth, but also accepting him in his heart, this last is the most important thing, we must recognize Jesus in all his ways.

The enemy will try to steal the seed that has been sown in the new believers, but we must ask God to cultivate that seed of faith that was sown in them.
