The Nearness of the Gospel: Confession, Faith, and the Preaching of the Word

Dr. Noell covers all of Romans 10, contrasting the righteousness of the law (Leviticus 18:5) with the righteousness of faith drawn from Deuteronomy 30. He explains Paul's teaching that Christ's incarnation and resurrection bring salvation near, requiring confession and belief rather than human effort. The lesson also treats the necessity of commissioned preachers, the universality of the gospel call to Jew and Greek alike, and Israel's culpable disobedience despite having heard.
