It indicates a continuation of Paul's argument about the righteousness that comes from faith, contrasting it with the law. The use of "for" suggests that what follows is a reason or explanation for the previous statements about faith and salvation.<p><b>“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord</b><br>This phrase underscores the inclusivity of the gospel. "Everyone" indicates that salvation is available to all, regardless of ethnic, social, or cultural background. This echoes <a href="/joel/2-32.htm">Joel 2:32</a>, which prophesies that deliverance will come to all who call on the Lord. The act of calling on the Lord implies a personal relationship and acknowledgment of His sovereignty. In the context of the early church, this was a radical statement, as it opened the door for Gentiles to be included in God's plan of salvation.<p><b>will be saved.”</b><br>The promise of salvation is assured to those who call on the Lord. This reflects the core Christian belief in salvation by faith, not by works. The certainty of "will be saved" provides assurance and hope. This phrase connects to other New Testament teachings, such as <a href="/acts/2-21.htm">Acts 2:21</a> and <a href="/john/3-16.htm">John 3:16</a>, reinforcing the message of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. The concept of salvation here includes deliverance from sin and eternal separation from God, offering a new life in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/paul_the_apostle.htm">Paul the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of the Book of Romans, Paul was a key figure in the early Christian church, known for his missionary journeys and theological teachings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_roman_church.htm">The Roman Church</a></b><br>The recipients of the letter, the Roman Christians were a diverse group of Jewish and Gentile believers living in the heart of the Roman Empire.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/joel_the_prophet.htm">Joel the Prophet</a></b><br>The phrase "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" is a quotation from <a href="/joel/2-32.htm">Joel 2:32</a>, indicating the continuity of God's promise from the Old Testament to the New Testament.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_universality_of_salvation.htm">The Universality of Salvation</a></b><br>Salvation is available to "everyone" who calls on the Lord, breaking down barriers of ethnicity, background, and past sins.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_power_of_the_name_of_the_lord.htm">The Power of the Name of the Lord</a></b><br>The Greek word for "calls" (epikale?) implies an earnest invocation, suggesting that calling on the Lord is an act of faith and dependence.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_and_confession.htm">Faith and Confession</a></b><br>Calling on the Lord is an expression of faith, aligning with Paul's teaching in <a href="/romans/10-9.htm">Romans 10:9-10</a> about confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_urgency_of_the_gospel.htm">The Urgency of the Gospel</a></b><br>This verse underscores the need for evangelism, as it assures that anyone who calls on the Lord will be saved, motivating believers to share the Gospel.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/assurance_of_salvation.htm">Assurance of Salvation</a></b><br>Believers can have confidence in their salvation, knowing that God's promise is sure and that calling on His name is sufficient for salvation.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_romans_10.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Romans 10</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'call_on_the_lord'_mean.htm">What does "Call on the Lord to be saved" mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_atavism_mean.htm">What does 'Call on the Lord to be saved' mean?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/can_they_hear_without_a_preacher.htm">Can they hear without a preacher?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_the_gnostic_gospels.htm">What are the Gnostic Gospels?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) <span class= "bld">Upon the name of the Lord.</span>--Originally, as meaning "of Jehovah," but with especial reference to the Messianic Advent.
