“POSSESSION PRODUCES PROFESSION”

Apostle Paul uses an Old Testament passage from Deuteronomy 30 to demonstrate the impossibility for man to do what it takes to be redeemed. The righteousness of heaven would have to be brought down to man, and the result of man’s sin, which is death, would have to be brought back to life from the ground. There is no human effort that could ever produce the necessities for mans salvation!

God provided the necessities and essentials for man’s salvation, yes, God alone made these provisions for us! He came from heaven to earth in the person of Christ. Christ took on man’s sin, nailed it to the cross and took the punishment that we all deserve upon himself. Christ was buried, just like all death results in going back to the earth; He was buried in a tomb, but He arose from the dead on the third day! Everything that Paul quoted from Deuteronomy 30, that no man could do for himself, Christ performed (Ephesians 4:7—10).

If we possess salvation, we will profess the work of God in the Gospel! If we believe it within our heart, we will speak it with our mouth. It cannot be contained! Believing unto salvation is also confessed and professed with the mouth. This biblical truth should get down in our crawl as a professing believer. Are you confessing Christ? Do you profess Him to others all that He has done for you, as well as the salvation that He offers to them. Possesion of salvation produces profession!

Romans 10:10—” ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
