• I. Rom. 101-5 Paul Grieved for Jews Who Sought
  Salvation thru the Law of Moses

1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God
for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I
bear them record that they have a zeal of God,
but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about
to establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For
Moses describeth the righteousness which is of
the law, That the man which doeth those things
shall live by them.

  ComeChrist the Savior Has Already Come!

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) 7 Or, Who shall descend
into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again
from the dead.)

of faith, which we preach

  Are Necessary for Salvation to be
  Right with God.
• A. Faith confession that Jesus is Lord
  Saviornot mere faith in faith

9 That if thou shalt 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation.

• V. Rom. 1011-13 Jesus Is Lord Savior for All
  Men Who Believe in Him.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth
on him shall not be ashamed. 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. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved.

• VI. Rom. 1013-17 Gods Plan for Saving Man Is
  Outlined Step by Step.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved. 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? 15 And how shall they preach, except
they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are
the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But
they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias
saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by
the word of God.
