"Growing deep in the Lord"

This is my salvation, Romans 10:4-10

⁴Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. ⁵Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them.^[a] ⁶But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?^[b](that is, to bring Christ down) ⁷"or 'Who will descend into the deep?^[c]" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). ⁸But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,^[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: ⁹That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
