What does Romans 10:13 say will happen to whoever calls on the name of the Lord?
Scripture declares that whoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. This calling is not mere mental assent; it involves verbalizing faith that Christ died, was buried, rose again, and that His shed blood paid for sin. The promise is universal: whosoever calls will be saved.
Les teaches that Romans 10:13 promises salvation to anyone who calls upon the name of the LORD. He explains that being saved means being made righteous, because God imputes the righteousness of Christ to a person when they believe. But before that, a person must call upon Him and let Him know. Les urges people to verbalize their belief rather than merely assume God can read their mind, though He can: acknowledge that Christ died, was buried, rose from the dead, and that His shed blood is payment for sin. The following verse then asks how anyone can call on Him in whom they have not believed, and how they can believe in Him of whom they have not heard.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
