You are saved if you confess with your lips that 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?  And how 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 are the feet of the messenger of 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.

Romans 10:9-18

"Lord, may I always see the best in people and in any situation so that I can enrich the world around me."
