Read it, believe it, and do it.

Romans 9:25-10:13

What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
~ Romans 9:30-33

Read, listen, and believe. Do not let anyone change what the scriptures say. Read it, believe it, and do it. Salvation is by believing in the one and only way to God and that is through Jesus Christ and not works which the Jews were trying to do. It was their stumbling block then and still is today. Come out of trying to do good works to earn salvation and place your faith in Jesus Christ the only TRUTH and way to God. Time is growing short and no one has the promise of a tomorrow. Please come to know Jesus today.


But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim);
~ Romans 10:8

The gospel is referred to as the Word of faith, or the Word of God, since it is what God spoke, or communicated, to man. Romans 10:17; Hebrews 6:5; Hebrews 11:3.

According to the gospel, doctrines are to be believed on the basis of the righteousness of Christ received by faith, and because it proposes Christ as the only object of faith, and encourages souls to believe in him for salvation and life. God has only one way for us to be right with Him, according to the Bible. In Romans 3:22, Christ makes us right with God by placing our faith in him. Regardless of who we are, this is true for everyone who believes; preaching the gospel without Jesus Christ as the only way is useless.


For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
~ Romans 10:13

'For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way,
and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.'
(Jas 1:23-26)
