For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13
A couple years ago, I wrote a blog post entitled “Call Out
and Be Saved.” In that post, I explained how Romans 10:13 applies to far more
than just our eternal salvation. Well, today, I want to reiterate that because
I feel that so many of us are struggling and dealing with unnecessary pain and
confusion because we have not yet fully grasped what it means to call upon the
name of the Lord that we might be saved.
One of my absolute favorite hymns says, “Oh, what peace we
often forfeit. Oh, what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything
to God in prayer!” God has caused me to realize that I have not taken hold of
the promise of Roman 10:13. I’ve tried to fight life’s battles on my own so
many times, but I’ve never been able to win on my own. However, He has proven
time and again that, when I call on His name, He will come to my rescue; He
will see me through.
Maybe you’re here today and you’re fighting your own
struggle. I don’t know what that is, but God does. Maybe you’ve never
acknowledged Him as Lord of your life. If that’s so, I urge you today to give
complete control over to Him. Repent of all sin and trust Jesus alone to save
you. If you do that, He will save you today and keep you saved forever!
