Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth unto salvation (Romans 10:10).
This scripture clearly is for salvation, especially when you consider the context and the verse before. Confess your belief in Jesus and you will be saved and live eternally with Him. But as you believe in Him, He perfects us and makes us more like Jesus, the scripture does what is says over and over. Believe in our heart and confess with our mouth “unto salvation”. Salvation here means wholeness or complete. It is a walk with the Lord: a process. Scripture says the Lord will finish his work in us until the day Christ returns (Phil 1:6). We all are a “work in progress”; all at different stages. The goal is to always be moving forward: from glory to glory. To be made whole is to be made better or more complete in Him: more like Jesus (Eph 5). In a relationship with the Lord, He changes and perfects us and works out the trash that is holding us back. We have to be willing to give him our whole heart and allow Him access to our whole life. It’s our choice as to the level of our walk and degree of access we allow God in. His desire is for our lives to be fuller and better. He came so that we could have life and have it in abundance (John 10:10). It’s in this process that we come to realize how much He loves us.
