Summary

Romans 10:11-13 — How does someone receive salvation? Paul says in Romans 10:11–13 that the first principle of salvation is belief and more specifically, belief in Christ Jesus. Paul just told the church in Rome that they must confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and now he says that they must believe in Him. All who believe will never be put to shame. Although the law and the devil may work against the Christian, the Lord has conquered all these things so that nothing in the whole cosmos could shame His people. In this sermon on Romans 10:11–13 titled “God of Jew and Gentile,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that this specific passage thoroughly and completely emphasizes that salvation and belief are open to whoever calls on Christ, meaning that it equally applies to the Jews and the Gentiles. All are born under Adam, which means that all people groups are under the same condemnation. Paul is sharing that despite what they previously thought, the Jews have no special standing in regard to salvation. The hope is that all people are saved by believing in Christ. Once that is done, God’s salvation is perfect and secure for all eternity.

0:00.0	First of you will remember that we are dealing at the moment with the words found in Paul's
0:04.6	Epistle to the Romans in chapter 10, verses 11, 12 and 13, verses 11, 12 and 13 in the 10th chapter
0:13.9	of Paul's Epistle to the Romans. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth in him, on him,
0:20.5	shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the
0:24.6	Jew and the Greek. For the same Lord overall is rich unto all that call upon him, for whosoever shall
0:33.6	call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
0:37.8	Now, this is a little subsection, as we've seen, in which the apostle is giving the proof
0:43.7	and the demonstration of what he has been laying down in the previous subsection.
0:48.9	And there he's been showing that the way of salvation is the way that was being preached by him and the other apostles,
0:56.0	the word of faith which we preach, and that is, that if thou shall confess with thy mouth
1:02.1	the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
1:06.9	thou shalt be saved. For with the heart men believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth,
1:12.9	confession is made unto salvation. And now he sets out to prove that, and he does so by means of
1:19.6	quotations from the scripture. We've shown how the apostle always does this, and how important
1:26.0	it is that we should do the same thing.
1:28.7	We don't merely preach our experiences. We don't merely preach our own thoughts and ideas.
1:34.7	Our whole position depends upon the scriptures, the revelation of God and of God's gracious
1:40.8	purpose in this world of time. Nothing is more important than that we should be able to show that our whole position
1:48.3	does really depend upon what God has done and what God has revealed concerning what
1:54.7	he has done and what he is going to do.
1:57.2	Very well.
1:57.9	We then moved on to consider the actual statements, and we began, of course,
