Rick and Doc conclude Romans 10 by emphasizing that Israel is without excuse for rejecting the gospel. Paul cites Psalm 19 and Deuteronomy 32 to prove that God's message went out to all the earth and was even prophesied to reach the Gentiles. Israel’s rejection wasn't due to ignorance, but deliberate disobedience, despite having prophets like Isaiah preach the gospel. Meanwhile, Gentiles who weren’t seeking God found Him because of His grace, not their efforts. The lesson also highlights God's unrelenting patience, reaching out to disobedient people with love.
