Romans 10:5-15
Read Romans 10:5-15
Helpful Background Information:
In this passage, Paul explains how people get saved. He says that salvation doesn’t come from following the law, but from believing in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead and confessing Him as Lord. Then Paul asks, How can people call on Jesus if they have never heard about Him? The follow-up question is then, “How can they hear without someone preaching?” This passage reminds us that the gospel must be shared. Church planting, missions, and everyday evangelism matter because faith comes through hearing, and hearing comes through the Word of Christ.
