Ever worked hard but with the wrong method? Ever moved fast but in the wrong direction?
In Romans 10, Paul says the Jews have a zeal for God but not in accordance with knowledge. They miss salvation when they refuse to see how easy it is to be saved. And their bloodline or law-keeping don’t bring them any rightness before God. There’s no favoritism with Him!
The truth is we can’t say who is saved and who is not. It’s all about a simple faith in Jesus, and anyone can believe and be saved.
