The Gospel Is Why We Go Changed People Change the World Ecc. 1:9-10 – What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us. “History doesn’t always repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” – Mark Twain Rom. 10:6-7 – But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). You don’t need to become a , as much as you need to believe in a Rom. 10:8 – But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim) Follow Christ instead of your Rom. 10:9 – because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Christ affects the whole person and Rom. 10:10-12 – For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. Rom. 10:13 – For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” You cannot go to Jesus as and the way you are
