Summary

Romans 10:9-10 — Paul has finally laid to rest the theory of salvation through the law. Salvation is through faith alone and Paul tells the church in Rome that they must first declare “Jesus is Lord” in order to be saved. This is one of the great statements of the Christian gospel. The only way to be righteous before God is to believe God and his word by faith. In this sermon on Romans 10:9–10 titled “Jesus is Lord (1),” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones says that the Christian must first consider the content of this saving faith. Salvation is all about Jesus and the fact that He is Lord. Christ is the firstborn of all creation and it is through Him that all was created. It is also through God that all of the cosmos will be restored once again. The second point is that God raised Christ from the dead. Without being completely clear of those two points, there is no salvation.

0:00.0	We come in our study of the Epistle to the Romans tonight to the 10th chapter and to verses 9 and 10 in particular.
0:10.9	Verses 9 and 10 in the 10th chapter of Paul's Epistle to the Romans.
0:17.1	That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart
0:24.6	that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
0:30.6	For with the heart men believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
0:38.6	Now, this obviously follows from what's been going before.
0:42.7	You remember that last Friday night we were looking at this comparison
0:48.0	that the apostle has been holding before us
0:51.5	between an attempt to gain righteousness by the law and righteousness
0:57.9	which is obtained by faith. He personalizes it and puts it in the form of two preachers.
1:03.4	Let me read again from verse 5 so that you have the context in your mind. For Moses,
1:09.3	describeseth the righteousness which is of the law, like this,
1:13.4	that the men which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of
1:19.7	faith speaketh on this wise. Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven,
1:26.4	that is to bring Christ down from above, or who shall
1:30.1	ascend into the deep, that is to bring up Christ again from the dead, but what says it?
1:35.8	What it says is, the word is nithy, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. That is the word
1:42.4	of faith which we preach, that if thou shall confess
1:45.5	with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from
1:50.6	the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart men believeth unto righteousness,
1:55.9	and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Very well. We've seen that the apostle compares and contrasts the two ways in order to show that
2:05.4	the way by means of keeping the law is a hopeless way, because it is an impossible
