Romans 10

10Dear brothers and sistersc, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved.G80G1699G2588G2107G2532G1162G4314G2316G5228G2474G2076G3303G1519G49912I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal.G1063G3140G846G3140G3754G2192G2205G2316G235G3756G2596G19223For they don't understand God's way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God's way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.G1063G50G2316G1343G2532G2212G2476G2398G1343G5293G3756G5293G1343G23164For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was givenc. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.G1063G5547G5056G3551G1519G1343G3956G4100

Salvation Is for Everyone

5For Moses writes that the law's way of making a person right with God requires obedience to all of its commands.cG1063G3475G1125G1343G3588G1537G3551G3754G444G4160G846G2198G1722G8466But faith's way of getting right with God says, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will go up to heaven' c.G1161G1343G1537G4102G3004G3779G2036G3361G1722G4675G2588G5101G305G1519G3772G5123G2609G5547G26097And don't say, 'Who will go down to the place of the dead' (to bring Christ back to life again.)"G2228G5101G2597G1519G12G5123G321G5547G321G1537G34988In fact, it says, "The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart."c And that message is the very message about faith that we preach.G235G5101G3004G4487G2076G1451G4675G1722G4675G4750G2532G1722G4675G2588G5123G4487G4102G3739G27849If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.G3754G1437G3670G1722G4675G4750G2962G2424G2532G4100G1722G4675G2588G3754G2316G1453G846G1537G3498G498210For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.G1063G2588G4100G1519G1343G1161G4750G3670G1519G499111As the Scriptures tell us, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced."cG1063G1124G3004G3956G4100G1909G846G2617G3756G261712Jew and Gentilec are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him.G1063G2076G3756G1293G5037G2453G2532G1672G1063G846G2962G3956G4147G1519G3956G1941G84613For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."cG3956G1063G3739G302G1941G3686G2962G498214But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?G4459G3767G1941G1519G3739G4100G3756G4100G1161G4459G4100G3739G191G3756G191G1161G4459G191G5565G278415And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, "How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!"cG1161G4459G2784G3362G649G2531G1125G5613G5611G4228G2097G1515G2097G1816But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, "LORD, who has believed our message?"cG235G5219G3756G3956G5219G2098G1063G2268G3004G2962G5101G4100G2257G18917So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.G686G4102G1537G189G1161G189G1223G4487G231618But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have: "The message has gone throughout the earth, and the words to all the world."cG235G3004G191G3378G191G3304G846G5353G1831G1519G3956G1093G2532G846G4487G1519G4009G362519But I ask, did the people of Israel really understand? Yes, they did, for even in the time of Moses, God said, "I will rouse your jealousy through people who are not even a nation. I will provoke your anger through the foolish Gentiles."cG235G3004G1097G3378G2474G1097G4413G3475G3004G1473G3863G5209G3863G1909G3756G1484G1909G801G1484G3949G520920And later Isaiah spoke boldly for God, saying, "I was found by people who were not looking for me. I showed myself to those who were not asking for me."cG1161G2268G662G2532G3004G2147G2212G1691G3361G1096G1717G1905G3361G1905G169121But regarding Israel, God said, "All day long I opened my arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious."cG1161G4314G2474G3004G3650G2250G1600G3450G5495G4314G544G2532G483G2992
