Romans 10:2 – I always read this passage with self justification of my judgment and criticalness of others’ faith. Their<\/em> zeal is not based on knowledge. But reading it and considering it in context, Paul is almost making excuses from the Jews. “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God” he says, if it were only based on knowledge.
\nRomans 10:3 – “Ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own” Wow, that hits home. I have felt that I have attempted to become righteous on my own terms, in my own way. I need to pay more attention to God’s way.
\nRomans 10:6-10 – Don’t worry about who is or isn’t going to heaven, who is or isn’t saved. Worry about yourself, if you do that and you follow Jesus as your Lord with faith you’ll be saved. Although this does give a sort of overview of salvation (faith and submission), it is by no means an check list of how to be saved. There’s no mention of repentance, baptism, love. Yet so many in Christianity use it this way – “all you have to o is believe and say you do.” Of course, the COC and ICOC have used Acts 2:38 (“all you have to do is repent and be baptized”) and Matthew 28:18-20 (If you’re not making disciples, you aren’t a disciple and aren’t saved) in much the same way. This simple, one verse type of salvation is contrary to the design of the scriptures, I think. The Bible is not a How To book, nor does it contain a How To list on becoming right with God. I think God wants us to seek and to study to find Him and I think as we teach others, we would do well to teach them to search and study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
