Book of Romans - Chapter 10 - Verse 16

10:16
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Meaning

Paul's statement in Romans 10:16 reflects the reality that not everyone who hears the gospel will believe it. The apostle is quoting from the book of Isaiah, where the prophet expresses astonishment that not everyone will accept the message being preached. This verse serves as a reminder that faith is a personal choice and not everyone will respond positively to the good news of Jesus Christ. It highlights the importance of sharing the gospel with others, even though not everyone will receive it with open hearts. Despite the challenges and rejections faced by those who preach the gospel, believers are called to remain faithful and continue sharing the message of salvation with others, trusting that God will work in the hearts of those who are willing to believe.
