Bible Verses About Salvation

Curated by Kevin White — Editor, Father’s Heart Bible™ October 28, 2026

A key Bible verse about salvation is Romans 10:9–10: “If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that our Father raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Scripture speaks to salvation in five ways: how we receive it, our Father’s will to save, Jesus who came to save, our Father as our salvation, and the assurance that it is ours. Below, word for word in Father’s Heart Bible™, are the verses on each, linked into the chapter so you can read Romans 10 free and hear it.
