Just after PAUL (Rom 10:8) quoted MOSES (Deut 30:14),
and said that word of faith is which WE preach ....
Just after PAUL (Rom 10:11) quoted ISAIAH and the PROPHETS (also Rom 9:33, 1:16; Psa 25:2-3,20, 69:6; Isa 28:16, 45:17, 49:23, 54:4; Jer 17:7; Joel 2:26-27; 1 Pet 2:6),
and said that whoever believed on Christ would not be ashamed ....
Just after PAUL (Rom 10:13) quoted JOEL (Joel 2:32),
and said that whoever called upon the name of the Lord shall be saved ....
PAUL quoted (Rom 10:15) ISAIAH again (Isa 52:7), and Nahum (Nah 1:15)
and showed that the gospel of peace is what WE preach:
Rom 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Just as the prophets (Luke 24:27,44; Acts 3:18) and apostles (Gal 1:17) before PAUL (Acts 26:22-23) were sent to preach the gospel of peace .... PAUL brought the gospel of peace FORWARD from Isaiah to his day.
Just after PAUL (Eph 6:10-12) told the saints which were at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus (Eph 1:1) .... to be strong in the Lord, and to put on God’s whole armour .... so they could stand against the devil’s wiles .... he instructed them to be prepared with the gospel of peace:
Eph 6:13-15 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day (When do you suppose that is? See Amos 6:3, for the only other time in scripture where you find the phrase ‘the evil day’. Also see Eph 5:14-16 for ‘the days are evil’.), and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
The gospel of peace .... makes beautiful feet!
This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
