Introduction
As I was thinking about what baptism recently, my mind went back to a passage in the book of Romans, chapter 10.
Did you catch these promises?
In fact:
Did you notice the impact of what we say?
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
and earlier in vs 10: “it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
That got me studying this whole idea further and I was amazed at how much weight God puts on the words we say.
Our Mouths Matter!
Could what we believe . . .
AND what we say really change our destiny?
Seems hard to believe, doesn’t it?
Look at some related verses:
In addition to these examples, he are some other ways this same term appears in our Bible:
Confess, Admit, Promise, Tell plainly, Fulfill, Make a confession, Claim and Acknowledge
In fact, more than 30 verses have this same Greek word and the variety of ways it is translated for us tells me it is a very rich term.
What’s in a Word?
It is a compound word with 2 root ideas:
HOMO-/-LOGEO
So, what’s the big deal?
Maybe the best way to answer that is to look at the exact opposite of a “say-the-same” acknowledgement.
Let me tell you the story you probably already know well:
(pic of denial?)
(pic of reconciliation?)
