Daily Devo | Effort is Essential, But Never Sufficient (New Testament in a Year, Romans 10)

Paul here reminds us that salvation is not earned through religious effort or moral excellence. It is a gift received through faith in Jesus Christ. There is no distinction between Jew and Gentile or any people in this regard, as we all come to God through the grace of Jesus Christ. Paul emphasizes the simplicity and accessibility of the gospel: those who confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead will be saved.Looking for a previous devo?

Whose life has made you jealous (v19) for what Jesus offers? - Is there someone in your life with whom God may be calling you to share your faith?- Prayer: Lord, help me trust in your grace and boldly and lovingly share the good news with others.
