The Two Calls of Salvation --- Romans 10:11–15 October 13, 2019 The Two Calls of Salvation --- Romans 10:11–15 October 13, 2019 For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” 12For 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; 13for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.” 14How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!” Introduction Our text this morning is a foundational text articulating one of the main purposes of why we exist as the Church, namely to speak the truth of the Gospel to the world. God is a sending God who sent His Son to save ungodly men. He sends you and me as His ambassadors every week to speak this truth of the Gospel of Christ to those around us. Recorded in Acts 10 is a prime example of God sending a preacher to speak the Gospel. I'm going to paraphrase this passage. God sent Peter to proclaim the Gospel to individuals outside of the Jewish nation—namely to the Roman centurion, Cornelius and those who were with him. Cornelius was a devout man to whom God had given a vision of an angel who told him to send to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon Peter who would bring him a message from God. Cornelius sent two of his servants and a soldier and, while they were on their way, God gave a corresponding vision to Peter to prepare him for their visit. Peter saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. In it were many animals that were unclean according to Jewish dietary laws. Then Peter heard a voice saying, “Get up, Peter, kill and eat.” Peter replied as any devout Jew would, “Surely not, Lord. I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.” Then God said, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” This happened three times because Peter was a hard headed man, but once you got something in that head to stuck. At the end of Peter's vision, the men sent by Cornelius arrived and Peter understood that the vision was in reference to their request. Normally a Jew of Peter's standing would not have entered the house of an “unclean” Gentile. But being prepared by God, Peter went with them and arrived the following day to find a large gathering of people who Cornelius had called together. Peter began to speak, “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.” That is the exact point that Paul makes in our passage this morning in Romans 10:12, “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 . ” As a result of Peter's explanation, Cornelius and the others believed on Jesus as their savior. Their salvation was proof to Peter and to all the Jews that the Gospel was not limited to Jews only, but that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. We find ourselves today in a time of church history that began in Acts 2 and expanded to this account in Acts 10 where the Gospel goes to all of the world. It is our task to speak the truth of the Gospel to all in our circles. I want to point your attention to what Paul writes concerning this great purpose that we have as Christ's church. Review Last week we finished our study of two of the most vital passages in all of Scripture—Romans 10:9-10 “ . 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; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.” We considered that there are people in every church that are only outwardly attached to the Church but do not know the inward transformation that the Gospel brings. They are like Judas who was part of the twelve disciples of Christ. Judas is an example of a person who is attached to Jesus yet is not a true disciple. He had joined with the inner circle, followed Jesus, and agreed to all that Jesus had said. He even went out preaching when the twelve were sent out. We saw that Jesus teaches very plainly that there will be tares among the wheat. There are Judas’ in the Church today that go undetected. The truths involved in Romans 10:9-10 are at the heart of the issue concerning people like Judas in the Church. They are attached but have no true spiritual life. There is no heart belief, and there is no Lordship of Christ in their lives. Confession of Jesus as Lord and Master of life and heart belief in the Gospel go hand-in-hand. You cannot have one without the other. Christ as Savior and Lord are two sides of the same coin just as repentance and faith are two sides of the same coin. You cannot have one without the other. Furthermore, you cannot be a secret disciple of Christ; this means that you cannot accept Jesus as Savior and not be a follower of Christ that shows itself on the outside. J.C Ryle wrote, “Either the secrecy kills the discipleship, or else the discipleship kills the secrecy.” We saw that “heart belief” involves a wholeheartedness. This is the way that the Bible uses the word when it commands us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” I read for you what John Calvin said about this heart belief, “I am not going to argue about the part of the body in which faith is located, but since the word “heart” generally means a serious and sincere affection, I maintain that faith is a firm and effectual confidence, and not just a bare idea.” Calvin affirms that faith is more than just mental assent. Furthermore, we considered the issue of Christ's lordship. We saw that many times we can identify a person by how they talk. The same should be true for the believer. People should be able to tell by your speech, actions and attitude that your citizenship is in heaven. You are a pilgrim passing through. A major part of our speech should center around the truths of Scripture. We speak the truth of Christ to those around us. This is a main priority of the Church. Jesus left His last instructions to the Church telling her to make disciples and to teach others to live according to all that Christ has taught. We considered some practical application of Christ's lordship in our lives, so I would encourage you to go back and listen to last weeks sermon if you were not here. I want to make an additional comment concerning verse 11 before we move on. The Two Calls of Salvation 11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” Most translations follow the NKJV concerning verse 11 which translates the word “disappointed” as “put to shame.” It reads, “Whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame.” This is a fair translation so that Paul would be saying that believers will not be disappointed or put to shame in terms of being let down because they followed an empty promise. On one hand, Paul is making a contrast between unbelievers who have no shame in their sin in this life but will be put to shame when judgment comes. On the other hand, those who trust in Christ—even though they may endure ridicule, scorn and shame by unbelievers here and now—will have no same for eternity. This is so vital to understand. I have mentioned before that when Christ returns and intersects this time/space continuum and all of mankind's activities are halted and all goes silent and all attention is pointed to One Person: Jesus Christ; then there will be no shame for believers. Christians will rejoice with inexpressible joy. The message on which they based their life will find its climax. Christ will be exalted and all who know Him as Savior and Lord will also be exalted. There will be no shame. Conversely, if the Bible is wrong and Christ was just a man and He died like any other man and there is no Resurrection and Christianity is a lie, then we as believers have lived our lives for nothing and have followed a lie. 1 Corinthians 15:13, 17, 19, 20 “But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain . 17and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins . 19If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

  • Romans Study Guide
    ROMANS STUDY GUIDE Christ Alone! Romans 10:1-21 Brief Comments Introducton: In Romans 9, Paul explained that God had not failed the naton of Israel. Highlightng individuals from their Jewish history, Paul proclaimed that God has sovereignly chosen/elected Israel to bring renewal to the world. God’s people were called to be a light to the Gentles and a naton of priests to mediate God’s presence to the natons. It was Israel who failed—not God. Israel was not fulflling its destny. Now writng in the middle of the frst-century to the church in Rome, the Jewish naton was in a precarious positon. Jesus had come, the gospel was being proclaimed, and many people (especially Gentles) were trustng Christ to save them from their sins. The majority of the Jews, however, rejected Jesus as the Messiah and were not believing in the truth of the gospel. “How can we be saved?” This is the queston that Romans 10 is answering. Paul’s answer is “Christ alone.” Romans 10 may be outlined with three points: Christ alone is our righteousness (10:1-4), faith in Christ alone saves us (10:5-13), and Christ alone must be proclaimed (10:14-21). Christ Alone is Our Righteousness (10:1-4) 10:1-4: Paul’s “desire and prayer” is for his people to “be saved.” (10:1; cf. 9:1-5) He longs for them to come to faith. Perhaps one can say that he’s “groaning” for their salvaton. Concerning our family members and friends who don’t know the Lord, Paul provides a good example to follow.

  • Getting Romans to the Right Romans: Phoebe and the Delivery of Paul’S Letter
    GETTING ROMANS TO THE RIGHT ROMANS: PHOEBE AND THE DELIVERY OF PAUL’S LETTER Allan Chapple Summary How did Romans reach the people for whom it was intended? There is widespread agreement that Phoebe was the bearer of the letter (Rom. 16:1-2), but little investigation of or agreement about the exact nature of her responsibilities. By exploring the data available to us, especially tha found in Romans 16, this essay provides a reconstruction of the events surrounding the transport and delivery of the letter to the Roman Christians. In particular, it proposes the following: Phoebe conveyed the letter to Rome, probably by sea; the church in Rome at this time consisted of house-churches; Phoebe was to deliver the letter first to Prisca and Aquila and their house-church; Prisca and Aquila were to convene an assembly of the whole Christian community, the first for some time, at which Romans was to be received and read; Prisca and Aquila were to be asked to arrange for copies of Romans to be made; Phoebe was to deliver these copies to other house-churches; and Phoebe was to read Romans in the way that Paul had coached her at each of the gatherings to which she took it. 1. Introduction It is the spring of AD 56 or 57, and Paul has just spent the winter in Corinth.1 Now he is on his way to Jerusalem with the collection (15:25- 1 For his spending the winter of 55–56 in Corinth, see C.

  • Introduction to Paul's Letter to the Romans the Origin and Character of the Church at Rome
    Reading The Greek New Testament www.misselbrook.org.uk/ Romans Introduction to Paul's Letter to the Romans Paul followed up his second letter to the Corinthians1 with a personal visit to Corinth where he stayed for some months (Acts 20:2). It was towards the end of this period that Paul appears to have written this letter to the Christians at Rome. Although he had never visited the church, Paul seems to have known many of the members whom he greets by name in chapter 16. Many of these Christians knew and had worked with Paul: the whole church was probably familiar with his ministry. Paul wrote to the Christians at Rome because he hoped that he might soon be able to visit them in passing on his way to Spain. He hopes that they may be able to help him on his way and support him in this new area of ministry (Rom 15:23-29). The origin and character of the church at Rome We have no clear information concerning the origins of the church at Rome. Clearly it was not founded by Paul, neither would it seem likely that it had been founded by another apostle or person of apostolic standing – Paul is sensitive about building on another person's labours and yet seems keen to forge closer links with the church at Rome. It is possible that the church at Rome could have its origins in Peter's preaching on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2 tells us that there were, gathered at Jerusalem, Jews and converts to Judaism from every part of the Mediterranean world, including some from Rome (Acts 2:10).

  • A Comparison of Romans 10:9 with Deuteronomy 30 Paul Baumeister
    A Comparison of Romans 10:9 A Comparison of Romans 10:9 with Deuteronomy 30 Paul Baumeister, PhD September 21, 2019 A Comparison of Romans 10:9 A Comparison of Romans 10:9 with Deuteronomy 30 “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” (Rom. 10:9). Romans 10:9 has been oftentimes misunderstood, twisted, or mistranslated. Understanding a scripture in its context is vital for understanding the original meaning of the text. This paper delves into the true themes and teachings of the tenth chapter of the Book of Romans. It is most definitely not teaching that a simple confession of one’s belief in Jesus provides the sinner with salvation. This would be at odds with many New Testament scriptures that state that salvation is attained by being born of the water and born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:3-5; Acts 2:38; Titus 3:5). To understand the true meaning of the text, a look into the verses at the beginning of the chapter provides the theme and topic to which the Apostle Paul is addressing. The topic is Israel’s rejection of Jesus as its Messiah. Paul says, “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved” (vs. 1). He states that they have without knowledge tried to establish their own righteousness instead of taking on the righteousness that is found in Jesus Christ (Vs 2).

  • Roman Chapter 10
    Roman Chapter 10 Romans 10:1 "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved." We have been saying over and over in these lessons how important it was to Paul that the Jewish people would accept Jesus as their Savior. God actually called Paul to the Gentiles, but he could not help but desire his own people to come to Jesus Christ. We see that the Lord Jesus desired them to be saved as well as Paul, but they would not. Luke 13:34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye would not!" Paul’s calling as an apostle to the Gentiles did not diminish his continual entreaties to God for Israel to be saved, or his own evangelistic efforts toward Jews. Romans 10:2 "For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." It is so strange to me that the people who were supposed to know the Word of God the best did not truly understand what that Word was saying, and they rejected their promised Messiah. The Scripture above says that it was for lack of knowledge. Perhaps, it was for lack of understanding what they were reading. Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." The Jews indeed had “zeal of God” which was demonstrated by their legalistic conformity to the law and their fierce opposition to Judaism’s opponents.
