How can you actively "call on the name of the Lord" daily? The promise in Romans 10:13 “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) God’s word is exact and trustworthy; the promise stands just as it is written. What it means to call on His name - Heartfelt dependence, not a ritual phrase - Open confession that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9-10) - Trust in His finished work, not in self‐effort (Ephesians 2:8-9) - An ongoing relationship, not a one-time emergency call (Psalm 116:2; Psalm 145:18) Daily rhythms for calling on the Lord Morning • Speak His name before anything else. • Read a verse aloud; let Scripture set the tone (Psalm 5:3). Midday • Whisper His name amid tasks; realign your thoughts (1 Thessalonians 5:17). • Thank Him for immediate blessings (James 1:17). Evening • Review the day; confess sin (1 John 1:9). • Recite a verse that magnifies His name (Psalm 4:8). Speaking His name through Scripture - Psalm 50:15 — call and He delivers. - Joel 2:32 / Acts 2:21 — the same promise echoed. - Proverbs 18:10 — His name, a strong tower. - Philippians 4:6 — bring every request with thanks. Memorize and voice these passages; Scripture supplies language for your cry. Living out the call - Obey His commands (Luke 6:46). - Share the gospel so others can call (Romans 10:14-15). - Serve in His name, confirming your words (Colossians 3:17). Guarding against empty words - Avoid mindless repetition (Matthew 6:7). - Keep sin confessed to maintain clear fellowship (Psalm 66:18). - Revere His holy name (Isaiah 57:15). A simple daily checklist 1. Voice His name morning, midday, evening. 2. Speak one memorized verse back to Him. 3. Thank Him for three specific gifts. 4. Confess any known sin at once. 5. Intercede for someone else. 6. Rest in the promise: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Live each day by literally calling on His name, and the assurance of Romans 10:13 becomes your continual reality. |
