Romans 10 · Grade 4
Confess and Believe
Read and Think
"Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved." Paul says his people have a zeal for God. "For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
The word of faith is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. Paul says if 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. "For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation."
"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him." "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
How will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe without hearing, or hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Paul quotes Isaiah about the beautiful feet of those who bring good news of peace. "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
