More Than I Asked For

From various websites

"You saved if you confess with your lips taht Jesus is Lord and in your heart you believe that God raised him from the dead. By believing from the heart, you obtain true righteousness; by confessing the faith with your lips you are saved. For Scripture says: No one who believes in him will be ashamed. Here there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; all have the same Lord, who is very generous with whoever calls on him. Truly, all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

"But how can they call upon the name of the Lord without having believed in him? An dhow can they believe in him without having first heard about him? And how will they hear about him if no one preaches about him? And how will they preach about him if no one sends them? As Scripture says: How beautiful to see those coming to bring good news. Although not everyone obeyed the good news, as Isaiah said: Lord, who has believed in our preaching? So, faith comes from preaching, and preaching is rooted in the word of Christ.

"I ask: Have the Jews not heard? But of course they have. Because the voice of those preaching resounded all over the earth and their voice was heard to the ends of the world. Then I must ask: Did Israel not understand? Moses was the first to say: I will make you jealous of a nation taht is not a nation, I will excite your anger against a crazy nation."

ROMANS 10:9-18

"Lord, You make all things happen--in Your time.
Help me to trust in the work of Your hand--always!"
