Romans 10:1
Prayer for Israel’s Salvation In this section, Paul expresses his deep desire and prayer for the salvation of the Jewish people. He explains that many Jews are very enthusiastic about God, but they do not understand the true way to be made right with Him. Paul shows that trying to be accepted by God through their own efforts or through the law will not work. Instead, righteousness comes through faith in Jesus Christ. He goes on to explain that anyone who believes in Jesus and calls on His name will be saved, whether Jew or Gentile. v. 1: Paul begins, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved” (Romans 10:1 a). He shows his deep love and concern for his own people, the Jews, and wants them to know God’s salvation through Jesus Christ.
