Intercessions for True Salvation-Romans 10:1-3

Have you ever worked with someone for a long time and been so frustrated with his/her lack of response to your help or teaching that eventually you have just written the person off, saying, 'I've done the best I can. He is going to have to learn the hard way.' Or perhaps you said, 'Whatever she has coming to her is her own fault. I am sure all of us have reacted that way at some time about someone. So we should not be surprised in our reading of Romans 9-11 if we should find the apostle Paul doing the same thing, due to the unbelief of his countrymen. In fact, far from being surprised, we would be understanding and sympathetic, especially knowing how badly he had been treated by some of them. But this is not what we find Paul doing. Instead of dismissing his countrymen and consigning them to some bad end, we find that Paul is praying for them, which is what each of us should do for those who are unbelieving or who try to create problems for Christians who are witnessing to them about Jesus. Join us this coming Lord's Day as we look at "Intercessions for True Salvation" (Romans 10:1-3).
