What are the results of calling on the Lord? Romans 10:13
The result of calling on the Lord is salvation. After we called out to God, repented of our sins and were saved, we became slaves or servants to Christ. When you call out to God it’s like your signing a contract agreeing to give him your life in exchange for saving it. Paul and Peter acknowledged this when they call themselves slaves or bondservants at the beginning of Romans and 2nd Peter. Some other things that happen as a result of salvation are: we’re saved from condemnation, we go to heaven to be with Jesus, we have absolute joy, we’re a new creature, your desires change and become more God centered, your treasures change, Jesus is magnified in your life, your made alive in Christ, no longer a slave to sin, you have someone to bear your burdens, and an advocate to the father, or someone to go to him on your behalf.
