Romans 10
1. The difference between the righteousness of the law, and that of faith;
11. all who believe, both Jew and Gentile, shall not be shamed;
18. and that the Gentiles shall receive the word and believe.
19. Israel was not ignorant of these things.














It is just as the Scripture says:
This phrase emphasizes the authority and reliability of Scripture. Paul often uses this introduction to affirm that his teachings are grounded in the Old Testament. Here, he references Isaiah 28:16, highlighting the continuity between the Old and New Testaments. The use of "Scripture" underscores the belief in the divine inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, a foundational principle in conservative theology.

Anyone who believes in Him:
The term "anyone" signifies the universality of the gospel message, breaking down barriers between Jew and Gentile. "Believes in Him" refers to faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Son of God. This belief is not merely intellectual assent but involves trust and reliance on Christ for salvation. The concept of faith is central to Pauline theology, as seen in Romans 1:16-17, where the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith.

will never be put to shame:
This assurance speaks to the security and honor of those who place their faith in Christ. In the cultural context of the first century, honor and shame were significant social constructs. To "never be put to shame" implies that believers will not face ultimate disgrace or disappointment, especially in the eschatological sense. This promise is echoed in other scriptures, such as Psalm 25:3 and 1 Peter 2:6, reinforcing the idea that faith in Christ leads to vindication and eternal life.

Teaching Points
Faith as the Foundation
Belief in Christ is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Just as a building relies on a solid foundation, our spiritual lives depend on trusting in Jesus.

The Promise of Honor
Trusting in Christ assures us that we will not be put to shame. This promise provides comfort and confidence in our faith journey.

Consistency of God's Word
The repetition of this promise across both Old and New Testaments highlights the unchanging nature of God's Word and His faithfulness.

Encouragement in Evangelism
Knowing that belief in Christ leads to honor can embolden us to share the Gospel, confident in the transformative power of faith.

Personal Assurance
This verse offers personal assurance to believers, reminding us that our faith in Christ secures our standing before God.(11) Whosoever believeth.--All who believe shall be saved, for, &c.

Verses 11, 12. - For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed (see above, on Romans 9:33). For there is no difference (rather, distinction) between the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord of all, being rich unto all that call upon him. Here, in ver. 12, the apostle comments on the text from Isaiah, so as to show the universality of its application (see previous note). It is (he would say) in itself applicable to Jew and Gentile alike, and it must needs be so, since the one God is the same to all that call upon him, even as the Prophet Joel also testified. The thought thus expressed was one deeply fixed in St. Paul's mind. He elsewhere speaks Of the very unity of God as implying of necessity that he is the same alike to Jews and Gentiles (see above, on Romans 3:29).
