10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
God Seeking Kings
From the ranks of fallen men God is selecting His kings. He has sent His Son to deliver them from their death and curse.

God Seeking Priests

God began with seeking worshippers, but he goes on to seek temples; or rather, in the sense which we are now to consider, in seeking worshippers he was seeking temples; and in preparing worshippers, he was preparing temples.

Romans Chapter Five
Romans 5:18–19 (ESV)

Romans Chapter Four
Romans 4:4–8 (ESV)
“Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”

Who Do The Angels Serve?
In this text you see why, in Jacob’s dream, God stood on top of a ladder that stretched from heaven to earth and the angels went up and down on it (Gen. 28:12). As that ladder, the Lord Jesus Christ is the true living and eternal God who touches both heaven and earth, because in Christ God has joined together his own divine essence and the nature of man.
