Romans 10:9-10 - … if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

When you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord you are 1. now aligning your words with the eternal truth of God’s Word and 2. Confessing that you are no longer the Lord of your life, but he is.
When you believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead you are 1. believing that Jesus has conquered death for you; therefore, 2. when you physically die you will be spiritually with him forever.

John 3:6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Words, the things you say, and what you believe in your heart, where your spirit and the Holy Spirit dwell, are keys to eternal life and spiritual victories.

1 Timothy 6:12 - Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

The word “fight” is the Greek word agonidzo, which refers to a struggle, a fight, great exertion or effort. It is where we get the word agony – a word often used in the NT to convey the ideas of agony, pain, distress, and conflict.

The word “good” is kalos, which denotes something exceptional, of the highest quality, outstanding, or superb.
In the context of a fight, it pictures one who has given his best effort to the struggle. Regardless how long it takes or how much agonizing is required, it is the picture of total commitment to victory.

The second usage of the word “fight” conveys the idea of one who is giving his complete concentration to the conflict and totally focused on engaging the conflict at hand and achieving victory.
