God's open arm

Romans 10

At this point, after the past "9" chapters of pleading, Paul is again with humility and love, continues to plead for the Israelites to believe and turn towards God.
In this chapter, unfortunately one of the most miss used scripture resides. A lot of people come and says, all you have to do is... well, you know.
However, they fail to realized that Paul had been explaining the situation in the last "9" chapters.
As he appropriately says: "...their zeal is not based on knowledge."

It is more and more convicting, and humbling for me to read, and understand these words in this chapter and the letter from Paul to the Romans.
The love of God for me, and all of us humans is just unbelievable, and I guess that is why it takes faith!

To God be the Glory.
