9 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:9-13).
Paul is describing the path or road to salvation. The truth of this path is very simple and is consistent with all of scripture. As has been the case from the beginning of history, all people that call upon the name of the Lord, in faith, will be saved by God. There is no elaborate scheme or process that must be followed. There is no specific work that can be done to earn it. But rather salvation is the pure gift of God to all that ask. God is just and always responds to saving faith with the salvation that is requested.
