Which verse says, 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?

• A. Romans 3:23
• B. Romans 11:16
• C. Romans 10:9-10
• D. Romans 10:13

Answer: (C)

Salvation is received when a person truly believes in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and openly confesses Jesus as Lord. Romans 10:9-10 lays out that exact sequence: confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in the heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you shall be saved. The inward belief anchors faith in the gospel’s central claim—the resurrection—while the outward confession shows a personal commitment to Jesus as Lord. This pairing captures the response Scripture links to salvation, making it the precise verse that matches the statement. Other passages touch related ideas—sin, Israel’s remnant, or the general call to salvation—but they do not present this exact combined formula.
