Romans 10 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 LordLord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

2

10 For with the heart man believeth unto right-eousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture saith, Who-soever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no differenceno difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto allall that call upon Him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.

13

Moses spoke of the salvationsalvation of the GentilesGentiles.

We were alwaysalways in God's Plan.

20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought Me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after Me. 21 But to Israel He saith, All day long I have stretched forth My hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying {contradictory; argumentative} people.
