1 | Salvation verse, or admonition to Jews? | Rom 10:9 | tani544 | 57890 | ||
Obviously this seems to be talking about salvation by faith and belief. Was it talking only to the Jews of the time. I have been told that this was to them because they had no problems with baptism, but they wouldn't believe in Christ. Does this also mean that this isn't all it tkes? | ||||||
2 | Salvation verse, or admonition to Jews? | Rom 10:9 | Robert Nicholson | 57916 | ||
Tani544: In Romans 9 we gave Paul's desire for Israel "that they might be saved" V1 and in verse 2-3 he shows that they are going about it in the wrong way. Is this chapter only to the Jew? I think not. In V.12 Paul writes "there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. I believe that verse 9 is speaking of salavtion by faith in the finished work of Christ. Consider: "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus" or Jesus as Lord. This is referring to a person who is willing to have Christ as the Lord of their life. "and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead" The person who believes that the Lord Jesus Christ was rasied from the dead bodily, simply believes God in all other parts of the death, buriel and resurrection of Christ. Paul in 1 Cor. 15 emphasises the importance of the resurrection of Christ which is the foundation for our hope. "Thou shalt be saved" There is no sense of doubt in this statement. In verse 10 we read "with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth coffession is made unto salvation." The moment the Holy Spirit reveals to us that Christ is the saviour, by faith we rest upon him and are born from above by the Holy Spirit. Thou Shalt be saved. The word salvation encompasses much more that simply being saved from the penalty of sin. When we trust Christ we are saved from the penalty of our sin. By his indwelling Spirit we are saved from the power of sin in our daily life. By the Word of his power we shall be saved from the very presence of sin when he comes again for us. Thank God for his promises which take us in. Robert |
