Romans 10:6-10

Living Bible

⁶ But the salvation that comes through faith says, “You don’t need to search the heavens to find Christ and bring him down to help you,” and, ⁷ “You don’t need to go among the dead to bring Christ back to life again.”

⁸ For salvation that comes from trusting Christ—which is what we preach—is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. ⁹ For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation.^[a]
