Romans 10:9-10:
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.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Notes on Romans 10:9-10:
Because salvation in the New Testament incorporates forgiveness, healing, and deliverance from evil in this life (see Saved!), it should follow that with your heart you believe and with your mouth confession is made unto healing. In other words, you must say that you are healed before your body will be healed. You can’t wait until after your body is healed to say so any more than you can wait to feel saved from your sins before you confess that Jesus has saved you from your sins. Confession is made unto salvation! This point is elaborated upon in the discussions below.
