…not everyone welcomes the Good News,

for Isaiah the prophet said,

“LORD, who has believed our message?”

So faith comes by hearing,

that is,

hearing the Good News about Christ.

Romans 10:16-17

…how can they call on him to save them

unless they believe in him?

And how can they believe in him

if they have never heard about him?

And how can they hear about him

unless someone tells them?

…”How beautiful are the feet of messengers

who bring good news!”

Romans 10:14, 15

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 it is by believing in your heart

that you are made right with God,

and it is by confessing with your mouth

that you are saved.

Romans 10:9-10

…Christ has already accomplished the purpose

for which the law was given.

as a result,

all who believe in him

are made right with God.

Romans 10:4

…Christ himself was an Israelite

as far as his human nature is concerned.

And he is God,

the one who rules over everything

and is worthy of eternal praise!

Amen.

Romans 9:5

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?

Does it mean he no longer loves us

if we have trouble or calamity,

or are persecuted,

or hungry,

or destitute,

or in danger,

or threatened with death?

…

No, despite all these things,

overwhelming victory is ours through Christ,

who loved us.

Romans 8:36-37

…God himself

has given us right standing

with himself.

Who then will condemn us?

No one—

for Christ Jesus died for us

and was raised to life for us,

and he is sitting in the place of honor

at God’s right hand,

pleading for us.

Romans 8:33-34

…If God is for us,

who can ever be against us?

Romans 8:31

…the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.

For example, we don’t know

what God wants us to pray for.

But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings

that cannot be expressed in words.

and the Father

who knows all hearts

knows what the Spirit is saying,

for the Spirit pleads for us believers

in harmony with God’s own will.

Romans 8:26-27
