unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in
the first place.

the right to become children of God.

Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving
everyone who believes - Jews first and also Gentiles.

Why is a personal response to the Gospel necessary?

glorious standard.

Lord.
The Gospel Romans 10:13-14
"Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (14) But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him
unless someone tells them?
