How do we know that confession of Christ is true?

Confessing Christ means recognizing Him as both Lord and Savior—a truth anchored in Romans 10:9, which states that if one believes in their heart and confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord, they will be saved. This confession goes beyond mere lip service; it reflects a deep-seated understanding of His sovereignty and grace. As articulated in the sermon, true confessions arise from an acknowledgment of one's sinful state and a reliance on Christ's redemptive work. This is evidence of genuine belief as it transforms one's identity from self-reliance to total dependence on the grace of God.
