 which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. It starts out by saying the word is near you. John 1 once says that in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
