The Heart Comes First | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.34

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 10:9-10"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."We all know how to say the right words — a prayer we've memorized, a phrase we reach for on cue. But in this verse, Paul corrects himself mid-thought and puts the heart before the mouth. Today we sit with that reversal, using the simple image of a well and a bucket: what comes out of us in words depends entirely on what's already filling us underneath. And for anyone whose faith started as someone else's — a parent's, a friend's — there's an invitation here to make it truly our own.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
