Romans 10:9-11

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “ Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Faith is not private, because confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord is a public declaration. There is only room for one person to be Lord of your life and it’s either Jesus or someone else. But the good news is that Jesus’s message is for everyone. Where you have been and what you have done does not disqualify you. Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
