3 KEYS WORDS IN THE INVITATION TO SALVATION

Roman 10

1, ¶ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2, For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3, For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4, For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

5, For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6, But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7, Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8, But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11, For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12, ¶ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

2. ἐπικαλεῖται τό ὄνομα τίνος ἐπί τινα, after the Hebrew פ עַל פ... שֵׁם נִקְרָא..., "the name of one is named upon some one, i. e. he is called by his name or declared to be dedicated to him" (cf. Gesenius, Thesaurus iii., p. 1232a): Acts 15:17 from Amos 9:12 (the name referred to is the people of God); James 2:7 (the name οἱ τοῦ Χριστοῦ).

James 2:7 KJV 1900

Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

3. τίνι with the accusative of the object; properly, to call something to one (cf. English to cry out upon (or against) one); "to charge something to one as a crime or reproach; to summon one on any charge, prosecute one for a crime; to blame one for, accuse one of"

(Aristophanes pax 663; Thucydides 2, 27; 3, 36; Plato, legg. 6, 761 e.; 7, 809 e.; Dio Cass. 36, 28; 40, 41 and often in the orators (cf. under the word κατηγορέω)): εἰ τῷ οἰκοδεσπότῃ Βηλζεβουλ ἐπεκάλεσαν (i. e. accused of commerce with Beelzebul, of receiving his help, cf. Matt 9:34; 12:24; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15),

πόσῳ μᾶλλον τοῖς ὀικιακοις αὐτοῦ, Matt 10:25 L WH marginal reading after Vat. (see 1 above), a reading defended by Rettig in the Studien und Kritiken for 1838, p. 477ff and by Alexander Buttmann (1873) in the same journal for 1860, p. 343, and also in his N. T. Gram. 151 (132);

(also by Weiss in Meyer edition 7 at the passage). But this expression (Beelzebul for the help of Beelzebul) is too hard not to be suggestive of the emendation of some ignorant scribe, who took offence because (with the exception of this passage) the enemies of Jesus are nowhere in the Gospels said to have called him by the name of Beelzebul.

Matthew 9:34 KJV 1900

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

Matthew 10:25 KJV 1900

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

4. to call upon (like German anrufen), to invoke; middle, to call upon for oneself, in one's behalf: anyone as a helper, Acts 7:59, where supply τόν κύριον Ἰησοῦν (βοηθόν, Plato, Euthyd., p. 297 c.; Diodorus 5, 79); τινα μάρτυρα, as my witness, 2Co 1:23 (Plato, legg. 2, 664 c.); as a judge, i. e. to appeal to one, make appeal unto: Καίσαρα, Acts 25:11; 26:32; 28:19; (τόν Σεβαστόν, 25:25); followed by the infinitive passive 25:21 (to be reserved).

Acts 7:59 KJV 1900

Acts 28:19 KJV 1900

5. Hebraistically (like יְהוָה בְּשֵׁם קָרָא to call upon by pronouncing the name of Jehovah, Gen 4:26; 12:8; 2Kin 5:11, etc.; cf. Gesenius, Thesaurus, p. 1231{b} (or his Hebrew Lexicon, under the word קָרָא); an expression finding its explanation in the fact that prayers addressed to God ordinarily began with an invocation of the divine name: Psa 3:2; 6:2; 7:2, etc.)

ἐπικαλοῦμαι τό ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου, I call upon (on my behalf) the name of the Lord, i. e. to invoke, adore, worship, the Lord, i. e. Christ: Acts 2:21 (from Joel 2:32 (Acts 9:14,21; 22:16>; Rom 10:13; 1Co 1:2; τόν κύριον, Rom 10:12; 2Tim 2:22; (often in Greek writings ἐπικαλεῖσθαι τούς Θεούς, as Xenophon, Cyril 7, 1, 35; Plato, Tim., p. 27 c.; Polybius 15, 1, 13).

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!

16, But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report 1 ?

17, So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

18, But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

19, But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

20, But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

21, But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

John 1

1, ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2, The same was in the beginning with God.

3, All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4, In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5, ¶ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6, There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7, The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8, He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9, That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10, He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11, He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13, Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 3

16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18, He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Allow us to mention a couple of more points at this time . about the BELIEVE.

Look at the verse 18 of John Chapter 3

Notice the 2 Different words

IN HIM: This deals with Believing in WHO HE is

ON HIM: This deals with Believing on WHAT HE has done His works

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

These 3 Words make the invitation to salvation very understandable when we witness.

RECEIVE John 1:12

John 1:12 KJV 1900

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
