Who is Lord? - Romans 9-10

This episode of The Preview Podcast introduces the upcoming lesson covering the end of Romans 9 and into Romans 10, continuing Paul’s single argument about Jews and Gentiles, the purpose of the law, and righteousness through faith rather than works. Justin and Evan recap Romans 1–8, then explains how many Israelites pursued righteousness by the law and missed Christ, while Gentiles are being saved by faith. The hosts unpack Romans 10:9–10, emphasizing that confessing “Jesus is Lord” is not a magic formula but heart-level belief and submission that produces a changed life; works are evidence of salvation, not its cause, and baptism is important but not required for salvation. The conversation ends with Paul’s call for evangelism and the responsibility of believers to preach the gospel to all people ahead of next week’s discussion in Romans 11.
