Salvation’s Secret: Confessing Jesus as Lord in Your Life

In this sermon, we explore the powerful message in Romans 10:9-11, where Paul emphasizes the importance of confessing Jesus as Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead. This two-fold act—believing and confessing—opens the door to salvation, allowing us to experience the fullness of God’s kingdom.

We dive into the historical context of the Roman Empire and how Paul wrote to believers living under an earthly king, yet proclaiming the heavenly kingship of Jesus. Confessing Jesus as Lord means acknowledging His authority over our lives—our past, present, and future. Salvation isn't just about escaping punishment; it gives us power over sin, the pressures of the world, and even ourselves.

Paul also highlights how salvation works in three tenses: it forgives our past, empowers us in the present, and guarantees our future in eternal life. When we confess Jesus as Lord, we unlock the doors to God’s kingdom, gaining access to His resources, peace, and power.

The sermon encourages us to delay responding to the enemy’s attacks and instead align ourselves with God's truth. By confessing Jesus and standing firm in His promises, we experience victory over the world, the flesh, and the enemy.

Join us as we unpack what it truly means to confess Jesus as Lord and live in the freedom and power of His kingdom!
