Belief is not merely intellectual assent but involves trust and reliance on God. Justification is a legal term, indicating being declared righteous before God. This echoes <a href="/genesis/15-6.htm">Genesis 15:6</a>, where Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness, establishing a pattern of faith leading to justification. The heart's role in belief underscores the sincerity and depth required in one's relationship with God, contrasting with mere outward religious observance.<p><b>and with your mouth you confess and are saved</b><br>Confession here involves openly declaring one's faith, aligning with the practice of early Christians who publicly professed Jesus as Lord, often at great personal risk. This public declaration is a natural outflow of genuine belief, as seen in <a href="/matthew/10-32.htm">Matthew 10:32-33</a>, where Jesus emphasizes the importance of acknowledging Him before others. Salvation, in this context, is both a present reality and a future hope, encompassing deliverance from sin and eternal life. The connection between confession and salvation highlights the communal and outward expression of faith, reinforcing the idea that true belief inevitably manifests in action and testimony.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of the Book of Romans, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_roman_church.htm">The Roman Church</a></b><br>The recipients of the letter, the Roman Christians were a diverse group of Jewish and Gentile believers living in the heart of the Roman Empire.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/justification_and_salvation.htm">Justification and Salvation</a></b><br>Central themes in this verse, representing the process of being declared righteous before God and being delivered from sin and its consequences.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_heart_and_belief.htm">The Heart and Belief</a></b><br>True belief originates in the heart, the center of one's being, and is not merely intellectual assent.<br><br>The Greek word for "heart" (kardia) implies the core of our emotions, will, and intellect, indicating a deep, personal conviction.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/j/justification_by_faith.htm">Justification by Faith</a></b><br>Justification is a legal term meaning to be declared righteous.
