圣经Brothers, what my heart desires and what I ask of God is for the salvation of Israel.
I can prove that they are enthusiastic about God, but not based on true knowledge.
Because they do not know the righteousness of God and want to establish their own righteousness, they do not submit to God’s righteousness.
The summary of the law is Christ, who gives righteousness to everyone who believes in him.
Moses wrote, ‘If a person does the righteousness that comes from the law, they will live by it.’.
Only righteousness out of faith says this: Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend to heaven? Just to bring Christ.
Who wants to go down to the underworld? To bring Christ up from the dead.
What exactly did he say? He said, this path is not far from you, right in your mouth, in your heart. It is the way we preach to the Lord.
If you acknowledge Jesus as Lord in your mouth and believe in God’s resurrection from the dead in your heart, then you will be saved.
Because people believe in their hearts, they can be justified. If you admit it verbally, you can be saved.
The scripture says, Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed.
There is no distinction between Jews and Greeks. Because everyone has one Lord, he also treats everyone who calls on him kindly.
For whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
But how can one seek him if they have not believed in him? How can one believe him without hearing him? How can one hear without preaching?
How can one preach without being sent? As it is written, how beautiful are the footsteps of those who proclaim the gospel and bring good news,
But not everyone listens to the gospel. For Isaiah said, Lord, who believes in what we preach?
It can be seen that faith comes from hearing the word, and hearing the word comes from the word of Christ.
But I said, didn’t anyone hear me? Indeed, I heard it. Their voices spread throughout the world, and their words reach the ends of the earth.
Let me say again, don’t the Israelites know? Moses first said, ‘I will provoke your indignation with what is not a people.’. I will touch your anger with those ignorant people.
And Isaiah boldly said, Those who have not found me, I will make them meet. I showed them that I did not visit them.
As for the Israelites, he said, I have been reaching out all day to call out to the rebellious and talkative people.
