5
Moses wrote this about being put right with God by obeying the Law: "Whoever obeys the commands of the Law will live."
6
But what the scripture says about being put right with God through faith is this: "You are not to ask yourself, Who will go up into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down).
7
"Nor are you to ask, Who will go down into the world below?" (that is, to bring Christ up from death).
8
What it says is this: "God's message is near you, on your lips and in your heart" - that is, the message of faith that we preach.
9
If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved.
