Rod preached from Romans 10:9-10 on "The Heart and Content of the Gospel." These verses discuss how a person becomes a Christian- the content of the gospel. The content of saving faith is confessing and believing. It is knowing that Jesus is Lord and that God raised him from the dead. It is not just knowing these facts. It is believing them. At the end he compared and contrasted incorrect understandings of "believing" with the Biblical teaching on what true believing is.
Incorrect Views:
Come as you are and stay as you are (just an assent to facts, but not a true trusting of Christ and submission to him)
Come get emotional peace (feel better, but not a true submission to Jesus as Lord)
Correct View:
True belief trusts Jesus (not just knowing facts) and this results in a transformed heart and changed life.
