Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
ISRAEL'S FAILURE.
THEY WANT TO SERVE THE LORD BUT THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE.
10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness (THEY WANTED TO BUILD THEIR OWN SALVATION), have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN YOU BREAK THE LAW CHRIST HELPS YOU OVERCOME IT.
THE LAW IS NOT DEAD; CHRIST DID NOT CHANGE THE LAW, HE FULFILLED IT BY BECOMING THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB. HE WILL FORGIVE YOUR SINS UPON REPENTANCE.
10:5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, that "the man which doeth those things shall live by them."
10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, "say not in thine heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
10:7 "Or, 'Who shall descend into the deep?' " (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
IN OTHER WORDS, HIS WORD IS NOT HIDDEN. IT'S NOT FAR OFF, NOT IN HEAVEN (HEAR AND DO), NOT OVER THE SEA (HEAR AND DO).
10:8 But what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:" that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
NOT HIDDEN (IN MOUTH AND HEART). IT SHOULD BE SHOWN.
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS HIS WORD.
QUOTED DEUT. 30:11-16.
10:9 That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
SALVATION COMES ONLY THROUGH CHRIST.
THE LAW SHOWS US OUR SINS.
10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness (JUSTICE); and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
10:11 For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."
CHRIST GIVES LIFE AND PURPOSE.
QUOTED FROM ISAIAH 28:16.
10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
10:13 For "whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."
GOD IS NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS; SALVATION IS OFFERED TO ALL.
QUOTED JOEL 2:32.
10:14 How then shall they call on Him in Whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of Whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
IT TAKES SOMEONES TEACHING THEM AND SHOWING THEM THE WAY.
10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent (APOSTLE= ONE SENT FORTH)? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
QUOTED ISAIAH 52:7.
KNOWLEDGE IS NO GOOD IF YOU DON'T SHARE IT.
10:16 But they have not obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, "LORD, who hath believed our report?"
QUOTED ISAIAH 53:1.
10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
KNOWLEDGE INCREASES YOUR FAITH.
10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, "their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."
THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES WITNESSED TO THEM.
10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith (SONG OF MOSES), "I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation (THE NATION OF CAIN) I will anger you.
MAKE A NOTE OF DEUT. 32:21, REV. 15, AMOS 6:14.
10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, "I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after Me."
QUOTED ISAIAH 65:1.
GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD.
10:21 But to Israel He saith, "All day long I have stretched forth My hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people."
THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN TO HIM.
QUOTED ISAIAH 65:2.
GOD BLESS
