  6. message is slaves to righteousness.

  7. There is no such thing as unrestricted, Freedom, like, you

  9. to something or someone either a slave to sin or to

  10. righteousness. We are slaves.

  21. you go. Remember, you are a slave to

  22. righteousness. All right?

  23. Again, we can either be a slave to sin, which is our natural

  24. state, or we can be a slave to righteousness that can be done

  25. in Christ alone. So, unless you are born again,

  26. you cannot be a slave to righteousness.

  27. All right, so we are slaves. Either way.

  28. Okay, if you are not in Christ right now, you are not born

  29. again yet. Then you are a slave to what to

  30. sin, okay? You are obliged to commit sin.

  31. You cannot say no to sin. You have no power to resist sin

  32. because you're a slave to sin, but once you commit your life to

  33. Jesus, once you surrender your life to Jesus and make him your

  34. lord and savior, okay? At that moment on the Bible

  35. says, when you believe You were given the Holy Spirit.

  36. Okay, as a deposit guaranteeing your salvation, okay?

  37. And that is why we need to cooperate with the Holy Spirit,

  38. okay? Because we cannot be wholly,

  39. okay? We cannot live a holy life

  40. without the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit can help us

  41. walk in Holiness. That's why he is, he is called

  42. Holy Spirit. Okay, so He is our power.

  43. He is our helper, okay? He will help us walk in

  44. Holiness. All right.

  45. So, but the Revelation about being a slave to righteousness

  46. is very important. So that we are always aware.

  47. We're conscious that wherever you go, whatever we do, okay.

  48. We should, you know, remind ourselves or we pray to God

  49. that, you know, Lord or God, the Holy Spirit.

  50. Spirit, please remind me always that.

  51. I am a slave to righteousness, okay?

  53. share this to your friends, okay?

  54. Especially those who have been a Christian for a long time and

  55. then, you know, maybe they're not coming to church anymore or

  56. we don't know what happened to them or how busy they are.

  57. But you see Very important because, you know, we need to

  58. always remember that this Revelation this truth about

  59. being a slave to righteousness matters, okay.

  60. So, and also we will not understand, or we cannot

  61. appreciate. You know, why God freed Us From

  62. Slavery, only or in order to be A slave again.

  63. Okay, it's like From Slavery to slavery.

  64. So make sure that you catch the Revelation.

  65. Okay? Why?

  66. In Christ we become slaves to righteousness, okay?

  67. Or feel free to watch this episode, this sermon again, or

  68. repeat this re sermon, you know, until you get the point, okay?

  69. And our goal is for you to see the Morton's of an ongoing

  70. sanctification. Okay, so we have in Christ.

  71. Once you're born again, in the spirit, there is an instant, you

  72. know, sanctification, okay? You are made righteous

  73. instantly, but because we are still in the flesh, we're still

  74. here on Earth. There is what we call an ongoing

  75. process of sanctification. I want to give to you the

  76. scripture Romans 12:2. It says, do not conform to the

    Romans 12:2

  77. pattern of this world. World.

  78. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

  79. Then you will be able to test and approve.

  80. What God's will is his good pleasing and perfect will let me

  81. emphasize the word renewing. Okay.

  82. Do not conform to the pattern of this world.

  83. Okay. And it says, but be transformed

  84. by the white by the renewing, by the renewing.

  85. Of your mind. Renewing is an ongoing thing.

  86. It's right now, okay? For as long as we're here, okay,

  87. we are, you know, guide is processing us, okay.

  88. God is not done with us yet, so we go through an ongoing.

  89. Sanctification, okay, renewing of your mind.

  90. So this topic concerning slaves to righteousness will help us

  91. will remind us. Okay, That we are what a slave

  92. to righteousness. So that instead of living Our

  93. Lives irresponsibly, you know we will what be aware will be

  94. conscious that God is monitoring our hearts, okay?

  95. That it's very important that we cooperate with the Holy Spirit

  96. who is working to transform us in Christ likeness but not to

  97. become ADT, okay? Not to be God.

  98. But there's only one God and we are his creation, okay?

  99. You should we should always remember that.

  100. So we hope that through this topic we can encourage you to

  101. cooperate with God the Holy Spirit at all times, concerning

  102. your spiritual growth transformation and fruitfulness

  103. or productivity. Okay.

  104. So again, always remember whatever you do.

  105. Wherever you go. Remember, you are a slave to

  106. righteousness, you belong to Christ.

  107. Okay? Sin does not have authority.

  108. Does not have the power over you.

  109. You are no longer obliged to commit sin, you're no longer

  110. obliged to yield the same, okay? In Christ.

  111. But if you're not in Christ yet, then you sin is your master,

  112. okay? You have no power to resist sin,

  113. that's why it's very important. Don't understand that.

  114. The Lord Jesus Christ died in the cross to free us from the

  115. power of sin. He paid the price so we can go

  116. free. But then with that freedom

  117. actually leads to another form of a servant Hood.

  118. Okay? Or slavery.

  119. But it's not it's a different kind of stable you let me.

  120. I will explain that later. Okay so the keys.

  121. Scripture for today's message is Romans chapter 6.

    Romans 6 chapter mention

  122. Let's begin from verse 16. It says don't you know that when

  123. you offer yourself to someone as obedient slaves you are slaves

  124. to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin, which leads

  125. to death or to obedience, which leads to righteousness.

  126. But thanks be to God that through, I mean, but thanks be

  127. to God that, though. You used to be slaves to sin you

  128. have. Come to be from your heart, the

  129. pattern of teaching that has. Now claimed Your Allegiance, you

  130. have been set free from sin and have become slaves to

  131. righteousness, Verse 18, you have been set free from sin and

  132. have become slaves to righteousness.

  133. I am using an example from everyday life because of your

  134. human limitations just as you used to offer yourselves as

  135. slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing - so, now offer

  136. yourselves as slaves to righteousness, leading to

  137. Holiness, okay? So that is the end goal that we

  138. live. Holy lives.

  139. Okay. Verse 28 says, when you were

  140. slaves to sin, you were free from the control of

  141. righteousness. What benefit did you rip at the

  142. time? From the things that you are now

  143. ashamed of those things result in death, but now That you have

  144. been set free from sin and have become slaves to God the

  145. benefit, you rip leads to Holiness Holiness.

  146. And the result is eternal life. Eternal life verse 23.

  147. Last verse for a reading, For the wages of sin is death.

  148. But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ.

  149. Jesus, our lord. So that verse 23 is a verse that

  150. is so famous. Yeah, we're familiar with verse

  151. 23 because we always, we can, you know, this verse not abuse

  152. but it's always use in Evangelistic.

  153. Pamphlets. Okay, so the way this wasn't

  154. over the penalty for sin is death but the gift of God is

  155. eternal life in Christ. Jesus our lord but that is that

  156. is not the the whole picture of it, okay?

  157. So you have to read back, okay? Because they are proceeding

  158. scriptures that points to what that we need to be freed from

  159. the slavery of sin. So that we can be a slave to

  160. righteousness. All right.

  161. So that is the context of the passage of scripture that we

  162. just read. Now, going back to verse 18, it

  163. says, okay, that in Christ we have been, what verse 18 we have

  164. been set free from sin. All right?

  165. We have been set, free from sin and have become slaves to

  166. righteousness now, First of all, the term slave does not, does

  167. not have a positive impact. Okay.

  168. It does not have a it has a negative connotation.

  169. Okay. Too many people others might

  170. attach a slave the word slave to harsh treatment.

  171. You know, when you're a slave you can attach it.

  172. We can connect it with the cruelty.

  173. All right, we can Kitt, I mean cruelty in slavery.

  174. Okay? So it is a unpleasant word to

  175. here, okay? We feel uncomfortable when they

  176. are, you're a slave, that's my slaves, you know, we feel

  177. uncomfortable with the word slave, you know, it's really

  178. inconvenient but you know, that makes Romans 6:1 of one of the

    Romans 6:1

  179. unconscious uncomfortable. Chapters to read in the Bible,

  180. right? But that word slave can actually

  181. be interchange with the word servant, okay?

  182. Because if you read from the Greek, the word slave in Greek,

  183. is doulos. Okay.

  184. Do loss, which means slave issuance servant, or a bond

  185. servant or in Modern English slave.

  186. Okay, that's why in King James version.

  187. It uses the word servant instead.

  188. I love slave. Okay?

  189. But do it uses the word servant it you says slave also one time

  190. okay once only once. So either ways whether slave or

  191. servant or bondservant. Okay, if we mean the same thing,

  192. okay? In this particular subject, so

  193. let us try. But here's the thing, a slave.

  194. Whoa. So we feel like Like is God

  195. cruel, you know, is God is a master slave master, right slave

  196. master? No, I want you to understand.

  197. Not from that perspective, but becoming a slave to

  198. righteousness in the right perspective.

  199. That's why this revelation of being a slave to righteousness

  200. very important. So, what is the right

  201. perspective? You know why, the Bible mentions

  202. that Christians have become slaves?

  203. Yves to righteousness. Okay.

  204. Let's so let's start let's try to quantify that truth.

  205. Okay? Why God freed us from slavery in

  206. order to be as live again. Okay.

  207. So again it's it's From Slavery to is slavery.

  208. First Corinthians. Let's read this one.

  209. First Corinthians 6:19-20, 20. So you will have an

    1 Corinthians 6:19–20

  210. understanding. Why?

  211. Okay? Why the Bible says said that we

  212. became a slave to righteousness, Amplified version we're reading

  213. Amplified version First Corinthians 6:19 okay.

    1 Corinthians 6:19

  214. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit?

  215. A spirit who is within you whom you have received as a gift from

  216. God and that you are not your own property.

  217. Okay. You are not your own property.

  218. Verse 20 says, you were bought with a price.

  219. You were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and

  220. made his own. Okay?

  221. So many to say, he made us his own, okay, because we were

  222. bought with a price, okay? I want you to take note of that,

  223. we, all of us, okay? We became Believers, we became

  224. followers of Christ, we became Christians, because We were

  225. bought with a price in the cross, okay, by the blood of

  226. Jesus, he died for us. He paid our sins.

  227. He paid our debt. That we cannot pay.

  228. And that is why since Jesus bought us, okay, since Jesus

  229. bought us, so we become his. We became his right?

  230. I'm not done yet with that part. It says you were bought with a

  231. price, okay? You were actually purchased with

  232. the precious blood of Jesus and made his own.

  233. So then it says, honor and glorify God with your body.

  234. That's why you cannot do anything that you want.

  235. There is no such a thing as 100% Independence or Freedom, okay?

  236. You cannot do what you want. Even though you have been

  237. redeemed by the blood of the Lamb you've been Justified you

  238. were clenched. You were forgiven.

  239. And you have eternal life but you have no 100% freedom to live

  240. the way. You want to live your life.

  241. And why is that? Because you are a slave to

  242. righteousness. That's the reason why you cannot

  243. be your own right. So, so again, you have to take

  244. note of that, you are not your own, okay?

  245. You were bought with a price, you were bought With a price

  246. that means you. And I mean, that means we are

  247. now his slaves because what? Because he bought us.

  248. All right. Actually, it's not just that he

  249. bought us but he created us. So from the very beginning, he

  250. owns US. Okay.

  251. But but you see he bought us. Oh, that's Double Point.

  252. Double reason why he has two right over us and we don't have

  253. full rights to ourselves to do, how we want to live our lives.

  254. We were bought with a price, therefore we are slaves to

  255. righteousness, okay? So we were set free from one

  256. slavery from the slavery of sin, of course, in order for us to

  257. become his bond And servant. All right, so I want you to

  258. picture this. Let me give you this

  259. illustration, okay. Before we came to Christ, we

  260. were already in sin. Okay?

  261. We were Sinners, right? And we cannot resist sin, and

  262. because of sin, we were already Doom bound to destruction, Bound

  263. To Hell. Okay, we were condemned to die.

  264. And to suffer Eternal death. That is how that was our

  265. condition before coming to the Lord.

  266. Jesus Christ. Therefore, you know what's the

  267. point, okay, of doing things. Are we living Our Lives.

  268. The way we wanted when, you know, what the point is?

  269. We were already condemned to die to suffer Eternal death, apart

  270. from Christ, but remember this, because Does God loved us.

  271. He provided the way. Okay, Jesus became man to die

  272. for mankind to represent mankind, he died in our place.

  273. It's a substitutionary death, he paid the price, he paid the

  274. debt, our debt, okay? In in other words, we were

  275. condemned to die, but he purchased us.

  276. Okay, that's the summary. We were all.

  277. We were condemned already. No, we were about, we were

  278. heading to that predicament, but then he purchased us.

  279. Hallelujah. He bought us to set us free from

  280. the power of sin and death, okay?

  281. But in the process of that transaction of paying the price,

  282. we became his. Alright, so we became his, so

  283. example, another example. So I hope everyone One will get

  284. this simple. Illustration.

  285. Okay. What I have here in my hand

  286. right now. It's a phone.

  287. Okay. So when this phone was

  288. manufactured in in the company in Samsung company I don't I

  289. have nope I have no ownership of this gadget or device.

  290. All right, so let's say this phone is you okay, this is you.

  291. All right, imagine that this phone is you So this phone was

  292. at one time displayed in a store, okay, particular to be

  293. specific. This was displayed in Samsung

  294. store inside the mall SM most in excellent.

  295. Okay. It was I don't know what year

  296. but okay. But now then my wife and I

  297. decided to Buy this phone from, from that store.

  298. Okay, at SM e:. And then after paying for this

  299. phone, of course, they gave us the receipt and they prepare the

  300. phone, then after paying for this phone, this becomes mine

  301. correct? This phone becomes mine.

  302. Okay, it belongs to me and I can I can use it.

  303. However, I want to use It. Okay.

  304. I can drop it. I can throw it.

  305. I can download some applications, why?

  306. Because it's already mine. Okay.

  307. Why? Because I purchased it.

  308. I paid for it. I paid for it.

  309. That's why this is mine. Alright, so that is I hope you

  310. got that Revelation right there. Jesus bought us with the price

  311. in the cross, so we belong to him.

  312. Therefore, we were made slaves to righteousness.

  313. Okay, so when you buy something, it is yours as long as you

  314. bought it legally, okay? So it is yours.

  315. Okay because you know, there are some people who are selling

  316. things that are not theirs, you know, they sell things that were

  317. stolen, okay, so when you buy something legally, it's yours.

  318. So do you own something? You purchase?

  319. Yes. Do you have the right to use

  320. something? You bought?

  321. Yes. The same thing with our

  322. situation with Christ. Jesus bought us, he purchased

  323. us. Therefore, we are his.

  324. We Come to him he can use us. However, he wants to use us for

  325. the glory of his father, right? So the point is, if you bought

  326. something legally you own it, okay?

  327. You own it and since the Lord Jesus Christ, Boris by his

  328. blood, therefore, he owns us. He has the right to make to make

  329. usually use of us for his greater glory.

  330. And like I said earlier, Earlier that besides the purchase thing

  331. idea, is that he created us. Okay, so that alone, I hope will

  332. help us understand that we are not our own, okay, we don't we

  333. just don't have 100%. You know, rights or rights to

  334. live the way we want to live our lives, okay?

  335. Because he bought us and we are his, we belong to him.

  336. Alright, so I hope you got that Revelation, but another

  337. scripture. Second Corinthians 5:15.

    2 Corinthians 5:15

  338. It says, he died for us. This is just a to confirm about

  339. Jesus paying the price Bible says, first second Corinthians

  340. 15 says and he died for all that those who live should no longer

  341. live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised

  342. again. Okay, so now in Christ because

  343. he died for us, we will no longer we should not sorry that

  344. those who live should no longer live for themselves?

  345. Not for ourselves, okay? But for the Lord for Jesus, who

  346. died for us and, you know, the Lord who was raised again.

  347. So that's second Corinthians 5:15.

    2 Corinthians 5:15

  348. Okay. So, I expounded that already,

  349. but as you can see, you know, we're not inventing scripture or

  350. we're not inventing revelation. Yes, but we are just actually

  351. reiterating what the word of God says.

  352. So, when we become Christians, we do not belong to ourselves

  353. anymore. Okay?

  354. Because he paid our debts. Therefore, he owns us and we owe

  355. him our lives forever, okay? It is just right for us to serve

  356. him, okay? Because we are indebted to him

  357. forever, okay? We are truly his sleeves.

  358. He bought us. He has the right to do whatever

  359. he wants to do. He owns us.

  360. All right. So, Peter 2:24 it says he

  361. himself. Bore our sins in his body on the

  362. cross so that we might die to sins, okay?

  363. And live for righteousness by his wounds, you have been

  364. healed, okay? So that again, so that we might

  365. die to sins. So we died to our sins.

  366. Actually, we did not die to our sins.

  367. He died for us but because because we put our trust in him.

  368. So we are what benefactors of what Jesus Paid for in the

  369. cross. And that is why this

  370. righteousness was imputed To Us by faith, alright?

  371. So in this Life. We are going to have to serve

  372. somebody. All right, either we leave for

  373. sin or we live for righteousness.

  374. Meaning, there are only two options for for, for people in

  375. this planet, okay? Either serve the devil or

  376. righteousness, okay? Or the righteous Lord.

  377. Slaves have no, will of their own.

  378. Remember they are literally in bondage to their masters When

  379. sin is our Master. Well, I mean when, when we were

  380. slaves to sin we are unable to resist sin, okay?

  381. But in Christ, praise the Lord, You Know, by the power of the

  382. Holy Spirit, okay? The Lord destroyed the Games

  383. that killed us in bondage to the power of sin, okay?

  384. So he freed us from sin and in the process of freeing us from

  385. sin, okay? He bought us.

  386. We were bought, we were purchased by his own blood and

  387. that is why he owns US, okay? So, in summary summary, we are

  388. all slaves. Let me read it to you.

  389. The summer is this, we are all slaves, either.

  390. A slave to sin or to righteousness.

  391. But the question is whose slave are you?

  392. Who is your master? Who do you obey?

  393. Now we have two kinds of slavery, okay, as slavery that

  394. in slaves, and slavery, that sets you free.

  395. So now, you see, there's a difference before you were a

  396. slave to sin. Now, you are a slave to

  397. righteousness. Yes, but they have different

  398. culture. Okay.

  399. Two cultures if you belong to the first the slavery to sin, it

  400. is a slavery that enslaves. But if you are in Christ right

  401. now, that slavery is not actually what the world defines

  402. a slavery because actually it is a slavery that sets you free.

  403. What do we mean by that? It is okay again.

  404. One is the slavery that takes away your freedom, okay?

  405. But the other one, is what as slavery that gives you free will

  406. now in Christ? Although you are a slave to

  407. righteousness, you are a bond servant to serve Christ but

  408. still the Lord do not force us. The Lord do not coerce us.

  409. The Lord does not put pressure on us to serve him to follow

  410. him. He wants you.

  411. You to decide make the decision. You know, you have free.

  412. Will you have volition? You can choose, you know, you

  413. can choose whether to serve God or not in Christ.

  414. So again, we were freed from sin to be a slave to righteousness.

  415. But that is not a slavery that in slaves, but it is a slavery

  416. that gives you free will, it is a slavery that sets you free,

  417. okay? All right, so we are all a slave

  418. to something or someone the question is, the question is not

  419. whether we will be enslaved but what we will be slaves to.

  420. Okay? So it depends on who your way to

  421. serve. Okay, who you serve, we can

  422. either be a slave to sin or be a slave to righteousness.

  423. We are slaves either ways, okay. But Add whom to serve sin or

  424. righteousness, the devil or Yeshua.

  425. What was that? Okay, all right.

  426. So again, friends, I'd like I would like to end this message

  427. with this statement. Whatever you do, wherever you

  428. go, remember, you are a slave to righteousness, again, whatever

  429. you do. Wherever you go, always remember

  430. that you are a slave to righteousness.

  431. You were bought with a price in the cross, therefore, the Lord

  432. Jesus Christ owns US. Okay, so friends it, this

  433. Revelation is very important, okay?

  434. This revelation of being a slave to righteousness is very

  435. important. This is a revelation that will

  436. help us that will keep us from sin.

  437. It's like the fear of the Lord knowing that there is no such a

  438. thing as complete Independence. From God, because first, he

  439. created us second, he bought us with a price in the cross, in

  440. our, in our site, on our side. Remember without Christ, we were

  441. already doomed to destruction, we were already bound to die and

  442. eternal death eternal, torment, Eternal punishment.

  443. So, we were hopeless without Christ.

  444. No salvation. But then Jesus died on the

  445. cross. He paid the price.

  446. And if we, if we surrender Our Lives to him to Jesus, then we

  447. become a benefactor of what Jesus Paid for in the cross,

  448. okay? So you will be set free from the

  449. power of sin. And once you have been set free

  450. from the power of sin, remember, because you were set free by the

  451. blood of Jesus. He paid the price and in the

  452. process of Jesus setting us free in the process of As you know

  453. cleansing as forgiving us, you know with this when he when he

  454. paid the price in the cross in that process we were purchased.

  455. So he owns us now. We are no longer a slave in

  456. slave to sin but now we have become his property and not

  457. problem here. Yeah, we belong to him.

  458. We become part of his family. Okay.

  459. A family. The, it's a kingdom of love.

  460. It's a kingdom of righteousness. That's why you see friends.

  461. Righteousness is really important.

  462. We have this. I know.

  463. Do you have a need? Of course.

  464. We all have a need every every day every week.

  465. We have a need, you know, that might be healing or finances or

  466. food or shelter or whatever that may be.

  467. But I want you to know in Matthew 6:33 if I'm not

    Matthew 6:33

  468. mistaken, it says seek ye first The kingdom of God, and his

  469. righteousness righteousness, and his righteousness.

  470. And all of these things will be added unto you.

  471. So you see, our basic needs are provided.

  472. They are met by who by the Lord, by the one, who purchased us,

  473. okay? Because he loves us.

  474. No, no, no. In the kingdom of darkness, you

  475. know, in that Kingdom of Slavery to Sin.

  476. There is no such thing as love, okay?

  477. There is none, it's Darkness, it's evil, it's wickedness.

  478. If you think the devil likes you, we'll take care of, you

  479. know, he will torture you that he will kill you.

  480. It's hard to describe. But okay, this is the summary,

  481. the thief, the Devil comes. But to kill steal and destroy.

  482. That is the main mission of Satan kill, steal and destroy.

  483. So why stay in his kingdom? Who I remain in the slavery to

  484. sin. Okay, get out of that family

  485. tree. Get out of that group.

  486. Okay, transfer from the kingdom of Darkness to the Kingdom of

  487. Light. How is that?

  488. You need to understand that we are all sinners.

  489. For all have sinned. That's what the Bible says for

  490. all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, okay?

  491. For all have sinned. So all of us are sinners and we

  492. cannot pass God's standard of Holiness.

  493. So we cannot enter Heaven. We will not be saved apart from

  494. Christ. And that is why friends there is

  495. a need for us to be delivered from the power of sin.

  496. But you know what somebody died. Died.

  497. Somebody paid for our sins. His name is Jesus.

  498. That's why, although he is God he left his DT.

  499. His godhood in heaven came on earth born from a virgin birth.

  500. Okay, he became full man so that he can represent us on the

  501. cross. All right, so he died in our

  502. place, okay, no. He Not inherit the sin of man

  503. because he had no biological or human father.

  504. He was conceived by the holy spirit.

  505. All right. So now when Jesus died on the

  506. cross, he paid the price. All you need to do now is to

  507. believe that Jesus Paid the price for you, he died.

  508. He was Buried buried and on the third day, he rose back to life.

  509. He was resurrected because death hell, cannot keep him.

  510. In the grave, why? Because he is righteous.

  511. He is sinless after he finished the transaction of paying the

  512. price for our sins, because he was our sin offering, the

  513. ultimate, the perfect sacrifice to pay our sins.

  514. He wants our atoning sacrifice, you know what he rose from the

  515. grave, so what you need to do right now.

  516. If you want to give your life to Jesus, if you want to transfer

  517. from the kingdom, the darkness to the kingdom of light and to

  518. be set free from the power of sin in order for you to walk in

  519. righteousness, to have the freedom of choice in the Kingdom

  520. of God. In the Kingdom of love, you need

  521. to give your life to Jesus. You need to repent from your

  522. sins and believe in who Jesus is and in what he did in the cross

  523. for you. So if that is your prayer today,

  524. You want, you mean, you understand the understood from

  525. this topic that we cannot live a holy life?

  526. We cannot walk in righteousness unless we become Born Again

  527. first. Okay, unless we repent from our

  528. sins and put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord

  529. and savior. Another verse can you please

  530. plug it in Romans 10:9-10. Do we have it?

    Romans 10:9–10

  531. Okay, it says if you declare or if you confess with your mouth,

  532. Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart, that God raised him

  533. from the dead. You will be saved verse 10 for

  534. it. Is with your heart that you

  535. believe and are Justified. And it is with your mouth that

  536. you profess your faith and are safe.

  539. Okay, say father in Heaven in the name of your son, Jesus

  540. Christ. and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray, I believe
