BELIEVE

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him

from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess

your faith and are saved.Romans 10: 9-10

Call on His

name

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put

to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and

Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call

on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will

be saved.”Romans 10: 11-13

Clarity by

Context

I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have

great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I

myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race, 4 the people of Israel.

Romans 9:1-4

What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue

righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have

not attained their goal.Romans 9:30-31

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to

establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ is the

culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

Romans 10:1,3,4

Clarity by Context: Identity

 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does

these things will live by them.”Romans 10:5

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:Romans 10:8

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him

from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess

your faith and are saved.Romans 10: 9-10

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put

to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and

Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call

on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will

be saved.”Romans 10: 11-13

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can

they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone

preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of

those who bring good news!”

Romans 10: 14-15

But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who

has believed our message?” 17 Consequently, faith comes from

hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word

about Christ. 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

Building on Pre-

supposed statements

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the

gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous

will live by faith.”Romans 1:17

Romans 1: All Non Jews sinRomans 2: All Jews sinRomans 3: 22-25: Righteousness of Christ

This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference

between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.  God presented Christ as a

sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.

Romans 1: All Non Jews sinRomans 2: All Jews sinRomans 3: 22-25: Righteousness of ChristRomans 4: Justified by faithRomans 5:17 Peace with GodFor if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!

Romans 1: All Non Jews sinRomans 2: All Jews sinRomans 3: 22-25: Righteousness of ChristRomans 4: Justified by faithRomans 5:17 Peace with God

Romans 6:3 BaptismOr don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Romans 8:1 No CondemnationTherefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Identity: overcoming

sin

Romans 6:1-2

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Romans 6:3-4

Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Romans 6:5-7 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

Romans 6: 8-10 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Romans 6: 11-12

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

Romans 6: 13

Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.

Romans 6: 14

 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
