For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -Romans 10:10

Good morning and tremendous Tuesday to you! The scripture referenced above is part of a series of verses in the book of Romans, often called the “Roman Road” to salvation.

Many profess to be Christians, yet their lives do not reflect the character of Christ. These verses present a clear sequence, showing that the heart must first be transformed before the mouth can sincerely testify to one’s faith.

The heart is a deep reservoir of thoughts, desires, and concerns. While what resides in the heart will eventually be revealed, it can often remain hidden for long periods. In the meantime, the mind can control speech without truly reflecting the heart’s condition.

This is why what a person says and what they truly believe may not always align. For instance, parents tell their children to believe in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, though they themselves do not hold these beliefs.

There is much proclamation today, but little true renunciation. On social media, in polite company, or when seeking approval, people may profess faith in Christ, yet their actions tell a different story. I often call this “situational salvation.”

Genuine renunciation in the heart is essential so that the words spoken are not just noise, but powerful, authentic, and life-changing.
