Romans 10:12-13


ALL who call upon the name of  Jesus Christ are saved!


Grace is truth. The truth of the Gospel is God’s grace gifted to ALL who chose to believe.


John 3:16-17 

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.


Joel 2:32 

And it shall come to pass

That whoever calls on the name of the LORD

Shall be saved.


In Romans 8:26-27, we read that Jesus' life and ministry opened the door for us to receive the very One we need to help us handle our suffering: the Holy Spirit, who is the greatest Comforter. He helps us pray. He understands exactly what we are going through. He teaches us Scripture, renews our minds, and will be with us forever (John 16:13;  Titus 3:5;  John 14:16). Believers in Christ have the Holy Spirit living inside us, ready to comfort, pray and lead us toward Truth. First5

Both Jews and Gentiles are under God’s judgment because of sin, yet both are eligible for righteousness through faith in Christ.


In the old testament this expression referred to prayer directed toward Yahweh. The Greek word kyrios, translated “Lord,” refers to Jesus Christ. Thus, Paul identifies Jesus Christ with Yahweh of the old testament. Paul quotes Joel 2:32. Faithlife Study Bible


Paul emphasizes the universal offer of salvation. Whoever means “all.” Verse 12 explains that this includes Jew and Greek (Gentile). The NKJV Study Bible


Acts 2:21 

And it shall come to pass

That whoever calls on the name of the LORD

Shall be saved.’


Acts 10:36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—


Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;


Romans 3:29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,
