Romans 10 Outline
Romans 10
1.
2 Timothy 2:15
A.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God
as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of
truth.
2.
When were Chapters and verses
introduced into the Bible as we know them today?
A.
Chapters were introduced in the 13th
century by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, Verses in the 16th century by a
French printer by the name of Robert Estienne.
B.
This is important because much of what Chapter
10 tells us is brought into context from the ending of 9:30-33 as when it was
originally written, it was one continuous document.
A.
Skandalon – Stumbling block/rock of offense – ensnare
or entrap = intentionality
3.
Romans 10:1-4 -Pauls desire for
Israel’s salvation
A.
Brethren, my heart’s desire
and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. 2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God,
but not in accordance with knowledge. 3 For not
knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own,
they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone who believes.
1.
Paul expresses his deep desire and prayer for
the salvation of the Israelites. He explains how the Jewish people have an
advantage over the Gentiles and how Paul loves them.
2.
He acknowledges their zeal for God but points
out that it is misguided because it is not based on knowledge of God's
righteousness. Faith is not a new principle from God but one that is evident in
the Tanakh.(Torah-Law, Nebim-Prophets, Ktubim-Writings)
a.
Zelos – Zealous- hot enough to boil, eagerness
b.
Epignosis – knowledge – discernment, recognition
c.
Dikaiosyne – Righteousness – equity of character,
moral purity
d.
Hypotasso – Submit – be under obedience
3.
The Israelites tried to establish their own
righteousness through the law, failing to submit to God’s righteousness.
4.
Christ is the fulfillment of the law, bringing
righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 7:1-4 the law is only applicable
while alive. When Christ died for us, he made it possible for our old selves to
die to the law and therefore the law no longer applies to us.
a.
"Or
do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that
the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? For the married
woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband
dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. So then, if while
her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an
adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is
not an adulteress though she is joined to another man. Therefore, my brethren,
you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you
might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that
we might bear fruit for God."
4.
romans 10:5-13 the message of faith
A.
For Moses writes that the
man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall
live by that righteousness. 6 But the
righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “Do not say in your heart,
‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to
bring Christ down), 7 or ‘Who will descend into
the abyss?’ (that
is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” 8 But
what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth
Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God
raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for
with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the
mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For
the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” 12 For there is no distinction between
Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all,
abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for
“Whoever
will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
B.
Paul contrasts the
righteousness based on the law with the righteousness based on faith.
C.
What is faith? Hebrews 11:1
D.
He concludes again that
even though he’s expressing his love for the Jewish people separately, all have
equal access to Gods grace and righteousness through faith.
E.
The righteousness by faith does not require
extraordinary efforts (ascending to heaven or descending to the abyss) because
Christ has already accomplished the work.
F.
10:6-7 Parallels
Deuteronomy 9:4-6 reminding the Israelites that it is not their righteousness
that dispelled their enemies but their own wickedness. Its not what you do that
will save you, only your faith.
1.
“Do not say in your heart when the Lord your God
has driven them out before you, “because of my righteousness the Lord has
brought me in to possess this land” but it is because of the wickedness of
these nations that the Lord is dispossessing them before you. It is not for
your righteousness or for your uprightness of your heart that you are going to
possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that
the Lord your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath
which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Know then
it is not because of your righteousness that the Lord your God is giving you
this good land to possess, for you are a stubborn people.”
G.
The message of faith is accessible and near, in
our mouths and hearts.
H.
Salvation comes through confessing Jesus as Lord
and believing in His resurrection.

romans 10:14-17 the necessity of preaching
A.
How then will they call on Him in whom they
have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard?
And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will
they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” 16 However,
they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So
faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the
word of Christ.
B.
Paul emphasizes the importance of preaching the
gospel for people to believe and be saved.
C.
He
outlines a logical sequence: people need to hear the gospel to believe, and for
that, preachers must be sent.
D.
Despite the availability of the message, not all accept it, as
Isaiah prophesied. .52:7
E.
Faith comes from hearing the message of Christ.
F.
Psalm 22:37 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to
the Lord and all the families of the nations will worship before You.
A.
Kerysso – Preaching –
B.
Horaios – Beautiful – seasonable, timely,
belonging to the right hour or season
C.
Apostello – Sent – set apart , send out
D.
Eungelion – Good news – gospel

Romans 10:18-21 Israel’s unbelief
A.
But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they
have;
“Their
voice has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”
19 But I say,
surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says,
“I will make you jealous by that which is not a nation,
By a nation without understanding will I
anger you.”
20 And Isaiah
is very bold and says,
“I was
found by those who did not seek Me,
I became
manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”
21 But as for
Israel He says, “All the day long I have
stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
