Israel, they don’t understand, “God’s way of making people right with Himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to THEIR OWN WAY of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in Him ARE MADE RIGHT WITH GOD.” (Rom. 10:3-4) “…faith’s way of getting right with God says, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven? And don’t say, ‘Who will go down to the place of the dead?’.” In fact, it says, “The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and IN YOUR HEART.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you openly DECLARE that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.” (Rom. 10:6-9)
Listen to this profound statement JUSTIN, “Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who GIVES GENEROUSLY TO ALL who call on Him. For “EVERYONE who calls on the name of the LORD WILL BE SAVED.” (Rom. 10:12-13) “So in Christ Jesus YOU ARE ALL children of God through faith…There is NEITHER JEW NOR GENTILE, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Gal. 3:26-29)
