Romans 10

http://www.esvbible.org/Romans+10/

Paul says that he prays for the Jewish people to be saved. It's hard for some of them to accept the message of Christ. Before Christ, they were God's chosen people. They had to follow Moses' Laws to prove that they were worthy of God's approval. It's easy to look at things retrospectively. Moses spoke of faith being the true way to receive God's approval. Scripture even says that the message of faith is near to you and on your lips. It is natural for us to seek God because no one comes into this world as a hopeless case for God. God seeks after the hearts of those who don't know Him. We want this salvation, and we all, at some point or another, come close to proclaiming it and sometimes even succeed. All you have to do to be saved is believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and God raised Him to life from death. By declaring your faith, you are saved because Scriptures say that you cannot be ashamed if you have faith. There is no difference in any people because there is one God that all people must receive approval from to come to true life. Anyone who calls on Jesus' name will be saved; however, if they do not believe in Jesus' name, how can they be saved? How can they believe if they have not heard what He has to say? This is also why it is important to have quiet time with God and to study the Word. Read the whole Bible all the way through, so you know what God is all about. That's what I'm working on. How can they hear if no one tells them the message? How can people tell the Good News if no one sends them? We need missionaries to go out into the world and teach people about the one, true way to Heaven, and those missionaries need environments that foster a growing relationship with Jesus to send them out and teach others how to achieve a similar relationship in their own personal way. At the same time, the message has already gone out through the world because of the Holy Spirit. Scripture says that God is found by those who are not looking and revealed to those who weren't asking. Meaning something similar to what Jesus taught, which is that He came for those who know they are sinners.
