Righteousness Leads to Faith, Faith Leads to Salvation – Romans 10:1-13
The key to understanding these verses is to understand Sodom and Gomorrah. The key to understanding these verses is to understand Sodom and Gomorrah. When a person hears the names “Sodom” and Gomorrah, we all know what comes to mind. However, I want you to see that Genesis 18 and the opening of Genesis 19 are comparisons on the hospitality that both Abraham and Lot show towards a few God sent men to their communities.

However, humankind has a predictable pattern.
his portion of Romans has a lot of information in it. For instance, there were those in Rome who were pushing back on the teachings of Paul relating to Jesus being the Messiah. Romans 7:1 identifies that he is talking to the Jews in Rome. Since this is the case, I have found where this precedence was set in the Old Testament as well and Paul is pointing us towards something deep!
“Slaves to Righteousness?” Old Life in Sin versus New Life Forgiving; Law Versus Grace; Without any help versus Getting help from the Helper; our will versus God’s Will; The master of your own sin versus the Spirit being the Master of your Life

Why are the people in this area, Corinth, having issue with life after death? It is due to the Greek philosopher Epicurus, 341–270 BC. Epicurus proclaimed the ultimate end of man’s life at the moment of death. There is no future existence for the dead because with death the body falls apart and everything ends. Epicurus’ view of death as the definitive end to everything was shared by his disciples.
He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
