The Rejection Of The Word Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 11, 2012

The argument turns from how to be saved to why Israel wasn't saved with these verses. Like so many people today the Jews had rejected God's plan to save the world, they had rejected Jesus as the Messiah basically because they had rejected God's Word.

ROMANS 10: 17-21 THE REJECTION OF THE WORD We have just been advised in this passage dear friends that if you are seeking salvation you must be a hearer of the Word. We are to keep in mind that it is the Word of God that we need to hear, because the word of man cannot save you. It may delude ...read more

This is why many will seek for a church where the Word of God is occasionally MENTIONED, but not PREACHED! For example, today it is not ...read more
