Romans 10:14-17

Just believe! Both Jews and Gentiles are under God’s judgment because of sin, yet both are eligible for righteousness through faith in Christ. Once the Holy Spirit resides in you he will reveal and explain the things of Jesus to you.

Spread the Good News…Jesus Christ saves.

This series of questions suggests that Israel had opportunity to hear the gospel message, yet rejected it.  Paul quotes Isa 52:7 to emphasize the importance of spreading the gospel. Righteousness comes by faith, and faith comes by hearing the gospel message. At the same time for Paul, faith demands obedience to the gospel. Faithlife Bible.

Not all Jews have obeyed the command to believe in Christ. NKJ Bible.

Romans 10:8-13
“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Romans 10:14-17
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 unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Isaiah 52:7 | How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news,Who proclaims peace,Who brings glad tidings of good things,Who proclaims salvation,Who says to Zion,“Your God reigns!”

Isaiah 53:1 | Who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

Nahum 1:15 | Behold, on the mountainsThe feet of him who brings good tidings,Who proclaims peace! O Judah, keep your appointed feasts,Perform your vows. For the wicked one shall no more pass through you;He is utterly cut off.

John 12:38 | that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:“Lord, who has believed our report?And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
