Paul Grieved for the Jews

• Romans 101-5
• Paul grieved for the Jews who sought salvation
  through the Law of Moses.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God
for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear
them witness that they have a zeal for God, but
not according to knowledge. For they being
ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to
establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted to the righteousness of God

Paul Grieved for the Jews

• Romans 101-5
• Paul grieved for the Jews who sought salvation

For Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses
writes about the righteousness which is of the
law, The man who does those things shall live by
them.

Paul Grieved for the Jews

  through the Law of Moses.
• Ignorant of Gods plan to make men right with
  Himself, they made a plan of their own.

  pointed to the need for a Savior.

10
No Need to Seek a Savior Who Was Yet to Come

• Romans 106-7
• Do not seek for a savior to come. Christ the
  Savior has already come.

• But the righteousness of faith speaks in this
  way, Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend
  into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from
  above) or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'
  (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

11
Still Seeking?

• Romans 106,7
• Do not seek for a Savior to come. Christ the
  Savior has already come!
• Jews are still seeking and waiting
• Seeking lights from Muslim Imams, Buddhist monks,
  hermits in the Himalayas.
• Seeking messages from the dead and stars.
• Searching dreams, mysticism, emotions.
• Experimenting with drugs.

12
The Message Is Simple

• Romans 108
• The message is simple so that all may easily
  understand, be saved, and teach others.

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 preach).
13
Faith in and Confession of Christ

• Romans 109,10
• Faith in and confession of Christ are necessary
  for salvationto be right with God.
• Faith and confession that Jesus is Lord and
  Saviornot mere faith in faith.

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord
Jesus and believe in your heart that God has
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For
with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.

How Sinners Receive Salvation

• Romans 1011-13
• Jesus is Lord and Savior of all men who will
  believe in Him.

For the Scripture says, Whoever believes on Him
will not be put to shame. For there is no

Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall
be saved.
15

• Gods plan for saving man is outlined step by

For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall
be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom
they have not believed? And how shall they
believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And
how shall they hear without a preacher?
16
Step by Step

• Romans 1013-17
• Gods plan for saving man is outlined step by
  step.

And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written How beautiful are the feet of
those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring
glad tidings of good things! But they have not
all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord,
who has believed our report? So then faith comes
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
