It Is God ALONE To Whom We Confess

It is God ALONE Who looks on the thoughts and intents of the heart. God alone knows if our faith is genuine. God alone knows if we truly believe in our heart that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose on the third day, according to the Scripture. And when a person believes on the Lord Jesus Christ in their heart for the forgiveness of their sins - God knows and He saves.
And it is God ALONE to Whom we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord. Confessing with my mouth to another person can never cause us to be saved - even if we use the right words, for no person can save another person - only God can save. Only God can forgive sins. And when a sinner confesses with their mouth to God that he believes in the Person and Work of Christ and that 'Jesus is Lord', God is faithful and just to hear our confession and forgive us our sins - for God hears and He saves ALL who believe.
For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, there is much that we do not understand about the Word of God and much that we need to be taught, but we pray that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. Keep us from being swayed away from the truth of the gospel  into a distorted gospel by those that show religious zeal, religious ignorance, religious intolerance, or religious arrogance. Help us to study to show ourselves approved unto God and give us the wisdom and the humility to seek You when we do not understand. Open our eyes, we pray, so that we may see wonderful things in Your written Word. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
