Lesson 9 (KJV)

Salvation Available for All

Devotional Reading: Psalm 19:1–14

Background Scripture: Romans 10:5–17

Romans 10:5–17

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach, except they are sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

17 So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Conclusion

A. Where Does Faith Come From?

Faith comes from hearing the gospel, a message proclaimed by preachers. Christ must be preached as having been crucified as the substitutionary atonement sacrifice for sin (1 Corinthians 1:23) and as having risen again for our assured hope (15:4). The church will always need preachers who faithfully proclaim the gospel.

Though many of us are not preachers by vocation, we are still representatives of Christ. If you are praying for opportunities to spread the gospel, God will surely answer your prayers!

What Do You Think? Which concept in today’s lesson most highlights a need for improvement in your level of Bible knowledge? Why? Digging Deeper What specific, time-bound steps can you take to bring about that improvement?

B. Prayer

Mighty God, may we be faithful to preach the gospel. May our faith in Jesus never waver in so doing. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

C. Thought to Remember

Spread the gospel so others may believe.
