Romans 10:16

Romans 10:16. But they have not all obeyed the gospel.

Oh, no; all who have beard it, have not obeyed it! There are many here who have beard it from their childhood, and yet they have not obeyed it. Notice the word "obeyed", for the gospel comes to you with the force of a command. If you reject it, you sin against it, for it is your duty to accept it: "but they have not all obeyed the gospel."

Romans 10:16. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

So few were the obedient, that he asked where they were.
