Simplicity of Faith - Ichabod Spencer
Romans 10:8-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 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
1 Peter 3:18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
