Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved

 Romans 10:1-21

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

But concerning Israel, he says, All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.

Why?

Just as Mesia said all day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people, this is the people of Israel and other peoples.

How?

The Lord chooses who will be saved, then he will be saved. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. What we should do is show a good witness among people and proclaim Jesus Christ
