How are we saved

Romans 10:13 says whoever calls upon the Lord shall be saved. The second thing we see is how we are saved. We are saved by calling. Now obviously I don’t mean calling on a phone, but I mean to cry out to God. Now the question that comes to mind is why call? We call or cry out to proclaim with humility our need for God, which glorifies him. However, we must be careful merely mouthing Jesus is Lord and Proclaiming that he raised from the dead or walking an aisle and being baptized, or trying to be a good person won’t save anyone. Satan can and will declare that Jesus is Lord, but that won’t save him. Salvation comes from a heartfelt confession of Jesus’ Lordship and designates a lifelong commitment that comes from the heart. What matters is not saying Jesus is Lord, but really believing it and making him the Lord of your life at the core of your existence.
