Romans 10:9:10 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 17 Therefore if any man be in (resting within) Christ, he is a new creature (a new creation): old things (ancient things) are passed away; behold, all things (they) are become new (freshly new, new bottle). 18 And all things (as a whole) are of God, who hath reconciled (reconnected); us to himself by JesusChrist, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (the reconciliation; the reconnection); We are a new creation reconciled or reconnected to God
