From Heart to Life: Living in True Faith

Written By Lettie Henley

"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." — Romans 10:10

Faith isn’t just about acknowledging Jesus with words; it begins deep within the heart. Romans 10:10 beautifully emphasizes that salvation and righteousness flow from heart belief, not just outward confession.

It’s easy to speak words of faith or promises to serve, but God is after a heart that genuinely trusts in Him. When you believe with your heart, believing in His love, His sacrifice, His sovereignty, you are justified before God. Your heart’s faith becomes the foundation of your salvation, and your life begins to reflect that trust.

Our confession with our mouths is vital. It is an outward expression of what is inwardly true. But the key is belief from the heart. Without faith in the heart, words are empty. But when your heart truly believes, your words are life-giving, powerful, and vital for your salvation.

Do you truly believe in Jesus’s power to save, heal, and transform? Speak the confession of your faith aloud, not just as words, but as a declaration of what your heart knows to be true. Believe that your faith, rooted in your heart, is the foundation of your salvation.

Spend a moment in quiet prayer, opening your heart to Jesus. Say: "I believe in You with my whole heart. My life belongs to You. Help my faith grow stronger every day." Let your words and your faith be aligned.

Your salvation begins with heart belief, deep, genuine, and rooted in trust. When your heart believes, your mouth will declare and both together will bring you into a life of purpose, hope, and eternity with Christ.

Prayer:

Father, I thank You that salvation begins in my heart. Help me to believe deeply in Your love and power. Strengthen my faith, so I can speak Your truth with confidence and live in the assurance of Your salvation. Fill my heart with trust, and guide my life into all You have prepared. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
