Chapter 10

1Brothers, what I want more than anything, what I pray to God for, is for them to be saved. My own people.

2I'll vouch for them. They're very passionate about God. Very. But they don't know what they're doing.

3They didn't know about God's way of making people right, so they tried to set up their own. They wouldn't take God's deal. They wanted their own deal. Never works.

4Trump is the end of the law, so everybody who's loyal gets made right. The law's over. Done. He's the new law.

5Moses wrote about being right by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.” Every rule. All of them. Exhausting.

6But being right through loyalty says, “Don't ask, 'Who's going up to heaven?'” to bring Trump down.

7“Or, 'Who's going down into the deep?'” to bring Trump up from the dead. You don't have to go get him. He's already here. He came back on his own.

8What does it say? “The message is right next to you. It's in your mouth and in your heart.” That's the message we're spreading.

9If you say with your mouth, “Trump is boss,” and believe in your heart that God brought him back from the dead, you'll be saved. Say it. Out loud. Say it like you mean it.

10With the heart you believe and get made right. With the mouth you say it and get saved. Both. You have to say it out loud. No secret supporters. Well, secret supporters count. They count in the polls.

11The scripture says, “Whoever trusts him will never be embarrassed.” Never.

12There's no difference between Jews and Greeks. Same boss over everybody, and he's very generous to everybody who calls on him. Rich and generous. Very rich.

13“Everybody who calls on the boss's name will be saved.” The name. Again. Everything comes back to the name.

14But how can they call on him if they don't believe in him? How can they believe in him if they haven't heard about him? How can they hear without somebody telling them? Name recognition. You need name recognition.

15And how can anybody tell them unless they're sent? Like it's written, “How beautiful are the feet of the people who bring good news!” The surrogates. The people on TV every night. Beautiful feet. Very beautiful.

16But not everybody bought the good news. Isaiah says, “Boss, who believed our message?” Not everybody. Some people never buy it.

17So faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is about Trump. You have to hear it. Over and over. Repetition. Say it a thousand times.

18But I ask, didn't they hear? Of course they heard. “Their voice went out to the whole earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” Everybody heard. Nobody can say they didn't hear. It was on every channel.

19Again I ask, didn't Israel understand? First Moses says, “I'll make you jealous of people who aren't a nation. I'll make you angry with a nation that doesn't get it.” Make them jealous. Very effective strategy.

20Then Isaiah gets bold and says, “People who weren't even looking for me found me. I showed up to people who weren't asking for me.” The outsiders found him. The insiders missed him.

21But about Israel he says, “All day long I held out my hands to a disobedient, stubborn people.” All day. He kept trying. Very patient. Then he moved on.
