What You Believe Governs Your Actions
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Do you have the authority to see it come to pass?
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
And lean not unto thine own understanding.
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Confession
Confession
It is affirming something we believe
It is testifying to something we know
It is witnessing to a truth that we have embraced.
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
Be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Two Kinds of Unbelief
Two Kinds of Unbelief
Some doubt God’s Word because they do not know it.
This is unbelief that is based on a lack of knowledge of the Word of God-— because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
So if people do not hear and do not know the Word of God, they cannot have faith.
This kind of unbelief, then, is due to lack of having heard the Word.
The cure for unbelief is to study God’s Word.
Another type of unbelief is failure to be persuaded.
The children of Israel knew they were to take the Promised Land, because God had said He had given it to them.
But they could not be persuaded to act on His Word.
There are many believers who are informed about God’s Word, but they cannot be persuaded to act on it. This is unbelief.
The cure for this particular kind of unbelief is obedience.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on thee:
Because he trusteth in thee.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
Thou hast put all things under his feet:
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Resist the devil
Resist the devil
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
27 Neither give place to the devil.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
20 He sent his word, and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
20 My son, attend to my words;
Incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes;
Keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them,
And health to all their flesh.
A Sinner’s Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior
A Sinner’s Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the Name of Jesus.
Your Word says, “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37), so I know You won’t cast me out, but You take me in and I thank You for it.
You said in Your Word, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13). I am calling on Your Name, so I know You have saved me now.
You also said, “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath 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” (Rom. 10:9–10). I believe in my heart Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that He was raised from the dead for my justification, and I confess Him now as my Lord.
Because Your Word says, “With the heart man believeth unto righteousness,” and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21) . . . And I am saved!
Thank You, Lord! Signed________________________ Date__________________________
