‘But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.' (Romans 10:9,10 KJV)
Shalt, or shall, indicates simple futurity: expressing the future tense. Although this passage has been taught primarily as a place of entrance into God's salvation, confessing the lordship of Jesus Christ and his victory over all flesh, especially in questionable circumstances, brings light for your devotion to God through Him, keeping and refining you in it. The victory in confession of the Lord Jesus will be found in the doing of it, speaking wisely, because wisdom understands that we must proceed.
