The Sweetest, The Simplest And The Profoundest Verse In The Bible

“Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”    

Romans 10:13

This verse is the sweetest, the simplest and the profoundest verse in the Bible.  This verse has the widest scope,  the grandest personality, and the greatest reality.

I – THE WIDEST SCOPE OF HUMANITY -   “Whosoever.” God covers all humanity to be saved as stated in the Bible verse thru the word “whosoever.” Whosoever means all, you  and any.  No matter what your background is, no matter what you have done, no matter where you came from, no matter what color you are, no matter what you did to yourself. It does’nt matter.  God will save you! Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, God loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass,  God’s love encompasses us completely!

II – THE SIMPLEST ACTIVITY -  “Call!”  This is very simple activity. Just “call” God.   “Call unto me and I will answer thee!”  Jeremiah 33:3. In calling God, we should have genuine humility,  unconditional surrendering,  personal helplessness,  and faith in God’s power and resources. Without calling God we can do nothing.

III -  THE GRANDEST PERSONALITY – “The name of the Lord!”   “That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of  things in heaven, of things under the earth… and every tongue confess that  Jesus Christ is Lord!” Philippians 2:10.  In the name of Jesus means authority,  ability, and adequacy.  “A transformed life is the greatest of all miracles.  Every time a person is “born again” by repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, the miracle of regeneration is performed.”  “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”  Acts 4:12.

IV -  THE GREATEST REALITY – “Shall be saved.”  “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man shall pluck them out of my hand,”  John 10:28. Our security is not in a place but in person, a person who did not, cannot and will not lie.”

God's Daily Prescription

“My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep thy commandments.”  Proverbs 3:1

God, being the supreme physician, has daily prescription to us:

I -  DAILY PRIORITY – Matthew 6:33 says  “seek ye first!”  Put God first and we will never be last and all things fall into proper place.  When couples love God first,  they love each other.  Put God first in finances, tithes, interest, hobbies, work, relationship, marriage, friendship, schedule and even in times of trouble.   When we have problems, prayer should be the first choice, not last resort.

II – DAILY POWER – In Christ we are strong.  Outside Christ we are weak. Philippian 4:13 says “We can do all things through Christ which strenghteneth us”.  Romans 8:37 positively reminds us that “Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.”

III -  DAILY PRECEPTS -  We cannot live without God’s word. It is our bread of life.  Take this word at least once a day or more.  There is no overdose.   Regular Bible reading can cure many illnesses like anxiety, fear, worry and stress.   Reading Bible will make us happy and gain positive outlook in life.

IV – DAILY  PRAISE -  Rejoice always in the Lord.  We should rejoice because we are sons of God, God is sufficient, God has special place for us  in heaven. Jesus said in John 14:1-2 “Let not your heart be troubled….in my fathers house are many mansions…..I go to prepare a place for you.” 

V – DAILY PRAYER – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing.  God doesn’t move in your life when you stop praying.  He moves when you pray. James 5:16 says “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
