“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
When you are trying to maintain a heart healthy lifestyle, don’t make it difficult. Preventive measures and perhaps some life changes don’t have to be stressful. We only make it hard by not following directions.
The plan of salvation is simple. However, most people think you have to do more than is required. The NIV Study Bible states, “Salvation involves inward belief (‘with your heart’) as well as outward confession (‘with the mouth’).”
Whether you are recovering from a physical or spiritual heart problem, avoid stress by simply following the regimen God has laid out for you in His Word.
