Read Romans 10:1-13
It is easy to demonstrate that actions speak louder than words. We speak volumes about what we believe and who we are through our actions. Even though this is true, "confession with the mouth" (vs 9) must find its place in the life of a true Christian.
We can't lose God-given opportunities to speak a word that will allow our command, and subordinates a chance to hear and see the difference God has made in our lives.
Failure to "confess Christ" is bound to result in stinted and stagnant life. The Christ-life is one that is described as the abundant life.
What we do and what we say must agree. Do you remember when Jesus was described as being "powerful in word and deed" (Luke 24:19); we are encouraged to be the same so that He receives the glory (Colossians 3:17). See also 1 Peter 2:15. Live the effects and preach the cause.
One more verse…2 Thessalonians 2:16-17.
