Romans Chapter Ten
The book of Romans is authored by; “Paul a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God” which is quoted from Romans 1:1. The area in which this letter to the Romans is authored is the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. We know this particular from Paul’s mention of the Chamberlain of the City, Erastus (Romans 16:23), which held office in Corinth from 51-52 A.D. according to an inscription found in Delphi, Greece.
Paul in the chapter before is speaking about salvation in the Gospels and how it relates to the Jews. He asks questions about the promises of God and have they failed the Israelites or not? If so, will they fail “us” as well?
In chapter ten of Romans Paul goes on to talk about the passion that the Israelites have, but what is passion without righteous living? Paul mentions sternly in this chapter that even though the Israelite’s passion was great, they had no passion towards the ultimate truth, Christ. They began to “establish their own righteousness” (Romans 10:3) and try to fulfill their “zeal” through the law.
Paul states in Romans 10:4 “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” There are no more boundaries to this man-made law; Paul is telling the Romans that Christ is the law. In verses 9-10 Paul states, in the simplest of ways, that through “the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:10). The last verses of this chapter begin to talk about how salvation through Christ is offered to all people (Romans 10:11-13). The vehicle used to offer this message is through the Word of God, Paul states in Romans 10:14-15.
The biggest issue presented by the nation of Israel, is that; not all of them received the Gospel’s message, even though they had perfect opportunities (Romans 10:16-18). But Paul then quotes Moses, who predicted that a day would come, when God would provoke Israel until they became jealous, through another group of people. Then Paul supports this by quoting Isaiah, who says this group of provoking people did not seek God but found Him anyway, all the while; Israel is rebelling against God (Romans 10:19-21).
The chapter ends, and Paul begins to explain, that God has not forgotten His people, in the next chapter.
