Welcome to our new project, the Daily Bible Devotional. The goal is to help you understand and apply

scripture as you go through a New Testament Bible read five days a week, Monday through Friday,

as we move from Matthew straight through to Revelation. In under four minutes each morning, we will recap the chapter,

make some application, present thought questions for the day, and offer a prayer together.

I'm excited about exploring God's word with you, so let's get started. Welcome. Today we turn our

attention to Romans chapter 10. Many Jewish people possess zeal for God,

but lack knowledge. Unaware of his righteousness, they attempt to establish their own.

Justification through law will always fail to render one righteous, quote,

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone

who believes. This righteousness is found in the word of faith that has been proclaimed, that those

who confess Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead will be saved. God requires a

believing heart and open lips to profess the name of our king.

Regardless of their background, whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

This salvation necessitates hearing the gospel of Christ and responding in faith.

Unfortunately, prophecy foretold that many in Israel would not listen to the truth.

There was this air about the Jewish people where they just couldn't open their hearts to the changes that Christ was demanding.

Here's some things that may benefit us.

Christians should desire and pray for everyone's salvation.

If we know individuals who are zealous for God but lack understanding of the gospel,

we should be prepared to share the truth of Jesus with them. Salvation comes through faith and

requires hearts that believe and mouths that confess. Be attentive to the opportunities God

provides to confess Jesus by helping someone in your life grasp the truth about him.
