Verse of the day - Romans 10:10

"For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved"

The verse previous says pretty much that same thing, that it is both the heart and mouth that is needed. So often as I strive for one of these two things I forget the other. I find myself so fired up about confessing Christ to others and sharing what I've been learning and I neglect the heart of the matter and forget how Christ has changed my heart. I will not be an effective tool for God even if I have all the right words and have the whole Bible memorized if my heart is not in the right place of believe that Christ is Lord and He died for me.
Similarly, it is not enough to just believe in Christ and do nothing about it. We can study God's word and pray in humility and love for a passion and understand of what Christ has done for us, but if we don't share this with others, and teach what Christ has taught us, then what purpose is it.
"if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"
It is so necessary and so awesome to experience the life that God has called us to in Christ as we share with others the the belief we hold in our heart, that Christ has saved us. Don't be all about teaching, don't be all about keeping your beliefs to yourself, be all about Jesus Christ and confessing Him as Lord
