The Word of Faith Brings Salvation |
|
|
 |
Romans 10:1
|
|
Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to
God for them is for their salvation. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:2
|
|
For I testify about them that they have a zeal
for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:3
|
|
For not knowing about God's righteousness and
seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness
of God. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:4
|
|
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone who believes. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:5
|
|
For Moses writes that the man who practices
the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:6
|
|
But the righteousness based on faith speaks
as follows: "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN?' (that is,
to bring Christ down), |
|
|
|
Romans 10:7
|
|
or 'WHO WILL DESCEND INTO THE ABYSS?' (that
is, to bring Christ up from the dead)." |
|
|
|
Romans 10:8
|
|
But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU,
IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, |
|
|
|
Romans 10:9
|
|
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as
Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved; |
|
|
|
Romans 10:10
|
|
for with the heart a person believes, resulting
in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:11
|
|
For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN
HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." |
|
|
|
Romans 10:12
|
|
For there is no distinction between Jew and
Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call
on Him; |
|
|
|
Romans 10:13
|
|
for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD
WILL BE SAVED." |
|
|
|
Romans 10:14
|
|
How then will they call on Him in whom they
have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And
how will they hear without a preacher? |
|
|
|
Romans 10:15
|
|
How will they preach unless they are sent? Just
as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF
GOOD THINGS!" |
|
|
|
Romans 10:16
|
|
However, they did not all heed the good news;
for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?" |
|
|
|
Romans 10:17
|
|
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by
the word of Christ. |
|
|
|
Romans 10:18
|
|
But I say, surely they have never heard, have
they? Indeed they have; "THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR
WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD." |
|
|
|
Romans 10:19
|
|
But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they?
First Moses says, "I WILL MAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A
NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU." |
|
|
|
Romans 10:20
|
|
And Isaiah is very bold and says, "I WAS FOUND
BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."
|
|
|
|
Romans 10:21
|
|
But as for Israel He says, "ALL THE DAY LONG
I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE." |
