Knock-off faith is a real problem. Looks like it from the outside, but the inside is devoid of faith. Right standing with God (righteousness) is not about what you do but who you trust.

Romans 10:9-10 - Chiastic Structure (A,B,B,A)
Confess with your lips (A)
Believe in your heart (B)
Believe with your heart (B)
Confess with your mouth (A)

Inward and Outward component of faith involved in the real deal.

INWARD - truth in believing
Three lies/deceits that prevent true trust in Christ:
1. We don’t need God.
2. We don’t need God’s community.
3. We are what we produce and consume.

OUTWARD - integrity of life
Three areas to consider:
A. Guilt / Shame
B. Fear / Anxiety
C. Apathy

Confession is the antidote producing a life of integrity.
