Romans 10:13 (NKJV) 13 For \u201cwhoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Jesus spoke to the thief on the cross, His words would echo down through the centuries; a simple, yet deeply profound truth that has seemingly gotten lost in deep theology and human logic (today you will be with Me in Paradise<\/span>).<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we ended our devotional with a question; \u201chow can we reconcile what happened on the cross with what we have been told is required for someone to be saved?\u201d<\/p>\n

In short, we can\u2019t. Or at least not without doing a lot of dancing around to make it seem like it works.<\/p>\n

It seems that some believers not only become confused but become angry with this topic because it flies in the face of our beloved long-believed theology.<\/p>\n

To this, let us ask this question; how can we argue with God\u2019s word?<\/p>\n

In the verses shared over the last few days, it is abundantly clear that salvation is very simple.<\/p>\n

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31).<\/p>\n

I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise<\/span> (Luke 23:43).<\/p>\n

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).<\/p>\n

Those three verses alone speak very plainly as to what is required<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Now, man has managed to add many other pieces to this \u201cpuzzle\u201d that it seems were never intended.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s OK, because if we go to God\u2019s word, we can see through those layers, and we can peel them away to see the foundational truth.<\/p>\n

Romans 10:13 states that if we call on the name of the Lord, we shall be saved.<\/p>\n

The thief on the cross called on the name of Jesus. And Jesus answered; today you will be with Me in paradise<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This is the simplest piece of evidence in the entirety of God\u2019s word that shows us what is required to be saved.<\/p>\n

Acts 16:31 says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.<\/p>\n

The thief on the cross believed. He was saved. The words of Jesus prove it beyond any doubt.<\/p>\n

Who are we to argue with Jesus? How can we justify putting so many requirements or stipulations on the salvation of a human soul?<\/p>\n

Now, should our lives change after being saved? Yes! But that comes after.<\/p>\n

When we call on the name of the Lord, He saves us. Plain and simple.<\/p>\n

There is much that comes afterward. This is all part of our new life as a believer.<\/p>\n

We repent. We allow God to change our heart and our ways. We seek God more deeply. We learn of Him. We draw nearer to Him.<\/p>\n

And we do that all in faith; the same faith that caused us to call out to Him.<\/p>\n

He is faithful to answer us. And our relationship with Him grows. Over time, as we pursue Him wholeheartedly, that relationship flourishes.<\/p>\n

And we spend the remainder of our lifetime growing as a child of God.<\/p>\n

But it all started with calling to Him in trust; a simple act of faith with no ceremony, no fanfare, and no special requirements except to call on His name.<\/p>\n

Does this mean that walking an aisle, reciting a specific prayer, etc. is meaningless? Not necessarily. But in the end, it all comes down to our heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

What must we do to be saved? Call on the name of the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.<\/p>\n

Amen<\/p>\n
