Fortune Cookie: Romans 10:9

Today "Christians" strongly believe that if you call on Christ as you savior you will be saved no matter what you do or how you live. Their faith is based upon this word in scripture:

Romans 10:9- That is you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

True the bible does state this fact, IF, that was the only verse in the Bible. What else the the scripture say about calling on the Name of Christ?

2 Timothy 2:19- ...And, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."

and again it says:

Matthew 7:21- "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father in heaven."

Therefore it is not only by calling on the name of Christ but you must also do God's will and turn away from wickedness.

Let us not be deceived by those who use the bible as a fortune cookie and only applying ONE verse to solidify their faith.
