God’s Chosen People, Israel
Rom 10:3-4 LSB -
[3] For not knowing about the righteousness of God and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
[4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Faith Comes by Hearing
Rom 10:8-11 LSB -
[8] But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,
[9] that if you confess with your mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
[10] for with the heart a person believes, leading to righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, leading to salvation.
[11] For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES UPON HIM WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME."
Rom 10:12-13 LSB -
[12] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him,
[13] for "WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
Rom 10:17 LSB - [17] So faith [comes] from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Rom 10:21 LSB - [21] But as for Israel He says, "ALL DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."
God Has Not Rejected Israel
Rom 11:5 LSB - [5] In this way then, at the present time, a remnant according to [God's] gracious choice has also come to be.
Rom 11:7 LSB - [7] What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
Gentiles Grafted In
Rom 11:24 LSB - [24] For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural [branches] be grafted into their own olive tree?
All Israel Will Be Saved
Rom 11:25-26 LSB -
[25] For I do not want you, brothers, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
[26] and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."
A Living and Holy Sacrifice
Rom 12:1-2 LSB -
[1] Therefore I exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice--living, holy, [and] pleasing to God, [which is] your spiritual service of worship.
[2] And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may approve what the will of God is, that which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Rom 12:5-8 LSB -
[5] so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another,
[6] but having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: whether prophecy, in agreement with the faith;
[7] or service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching;
[8] or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with generosity; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9-13 LSB -
[9] [Let] love [be] without hypocrisy--by abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,
[10] [being] devoted to one another in brotherly love, giving preference to one another in honor,
[11] not lagging behind in diligence, being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
[12] rejoicing in hope, persevering in affliction, being devoted to prayer,
[13] contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
