Romans 10-5 Verse of the day -
Rom 10:5  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

Get quiet in prayer, meditation, contemplation, peace, joy and reverence and read chapter 10 of Romans if you so choose.

A simplification -
Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. Abiding in Jesus Christ is believing on Him, learning His way and following His commandments.

There is a reason we pray - "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself gave us (the entirety of) this prayer for us to know how we should pray. And meditation on all of the words of Jesus Christ is paramount to gaining a deeper understanding and knowledge of the entirety of his teachings.
And gaining by the grace of Jesus Christ a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ is paramount to abiding in Jesus Christ.

I clumsily attempt to describe various things in this video, such as Salvation through faith leading to following the remaining commandments of our Lord, Priest, King, and Friend, Jesus Christ.
Salvation has been fullfilled through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. And Yes we do have Gods infinite justice, mercy, restoration, and so on, yet the fullness of all that is still coming. This is why we have patience.
The patience and faith of the saints. We who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ have salvation completely. There is a lot more to come. Get ready and stay ready.

I shall put the ERV and KJVA versions of Chapter 10 of Romans here God willing. If one seems hard to understand, read both. -

KJVA Romans Chapter 10 -
Rom 10:1  Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 
Rom 10:2  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 
Rom 10:3  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. 
Rom 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 
Rom 10:5  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 
Rom 10:6  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:) 
Rom 10:7  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 
Rom 10:8  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; 
Rom 10:9  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. 
Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 
Rom 10:11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 
Rom 10:12  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. 
Rom 10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 
Rom 10:14  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 
Rom 10:15  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! 
Rom 10:16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 
Rom 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 
Rom 10:18  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. 
Rom 10:19  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. 
Rom 10:20  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. 
Rom 10:21  But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. 

ERV - Romans chapter 10 -
Rom 10:1  Brothers and sisters, what I want most is for all the people of Israel to be saved. That is my prayer to God. 
Rom 10:2  I can say this about them: They really try hard to follow God, but they don't know the right way. 
Rom 10:3  They did not know the way that God makes people right with him. And they tried to make themselves right in their own way. So they did not accept God's way of making people right. 
Rom 10:4  Christ ended the law so that everyone who believes in him is made right with God. 
Rom 10:5  Moses writes about being made right by following the law. He says, "The person who obeys these laws is the one who will have life through them." 
Rom 10:6  But this is what the Scriptures say about being made right through faith: "Don't say to yourself, 'Who will go up into heaven?'" (This means "Who will go up to heaven to get Christ and bring him down to earth?") 
Rom 10:7  "And don't say, 'Who will go down into the world below?'" (This means "Who will go down to get Christ and bring him up from death?") 
Rom 10:8  This is what the Scripture says: "God's teaching is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart." It is the teaching of faith that we tell people. 
Rom 10:9  If you openly say, "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved. 
Rom 10:10  Yes, we believe in Jesus deep in our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we openly say that we believe in him, and so we are saved. 
Rom 10:11  Yes, the Scriptures say, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed." 
Rom 10:12  It says this because there is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is the Lord of all people. And he richly blesses everyone who looks to him for help. 
Rom 10:13  Yes, "everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved." 
Rom 10:14  But before people can pray to the Lord for help, they must believe in him. And before they can believe in the Lord, they must hear about him. And for anyone to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them. 
Rom 10:15  And before anyone can go and tell them, they must be sent. As the Scriptures say, "How wonderful it is to see someone coming to tell good news!" 
Rom 10:16  But not all the people accepted that good news. Isaiah said, "Lord, who believed what we told them?" 
Rom 10:17  So faith comes from hearing the Good News. And people hear the Good News when someone tells them about Christ. 
Rom 10:18  But I ask, "Did those people not hear the Good News?" Yes, they heard—as the Scriptures say, "Their voices went out all around the world. Their words went everywhere in the world." 
Rom 10:19  Again I ask, "Did the people of Israel not understand?" Yes, they did understand. First, Moses says this for God: "I will use those who are not really a nation to make you jealous. I will use a nation that does not understand to make you angry." 
Rom 10:20  Then Isaiah is bold enough to say this for God: "The people who were not looking for me— they are the ones who found me. I made myself known to those who did not ask for me." 
Rom 10:21  But about the people of Israel God says, "All day long I stood ready to accept those people, but they are stubborn and refuse to obey me."
