THE MESSAGE
Scripture reassures us, "No one who trusts God like this—heart and soul—will ever regret it." It's exactly the same no matter what a person's religious background may be: the same God for all of us, acting the same incredibly generous way to everyone who calls out for help. "Everyone who calls, ‘Help, God!' gets help."
Simplified Cowboy Version
The Good Book tells us, "Anyone who trusts in him will not have the gate shut on them."

Contextual Overview

1 Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed and my prayer to God is for them unto salvation. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God. 4 For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth. 5 For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it. 6 But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down; 7 Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead. 8 But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee; even in thy mouth and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach. 9 For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the Scripture saith,.... Of this form of expression, or mode of speaking, :-. The passage referred to is

Isaiah 28:16, cited before in Romans 9:33; the view with which it is produced is to prove the certain connection between faith and righteousness, and confession and salvation; or in other words, to observe that such who cordially believe in Christ, and make a sincere profession of their faith in him, shall be saved. There are some things somewhat different from, though agreeing in sense with, the words as they stand in the prophet; there it is indefinitely said, "he that believeth", here an universal is made use of,

whosoever, or "everyone"

that believeth: which phrases are equipollent, and a certain truth it is, that whosoever believes in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, be he who he will, shall surely be saved: here the object believed in, is expressed

in him, which is there implied, and may easily be understood of the stone laid in Zion for a foundation, which is Christ; for other foundation can no man lay, and whoever by faith builds on this foundation is safe:

and shall not be ashamed; neither in this world, nor in that to come; in the Hebrew text it is, "shall not make haste"; how this may be reconciled, Romans 9:33- :,

Romans 9:33- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For the Scripture saith ... - Isaiah 28:16. This was the uniform doctrine of the Scripture, that he who holds an opinion on the subject of religion will not be ashamed to avow it. This is the nature of religion, and without this there can be none; see this passage explained in Romans 9:33.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Romans 10:11. For the Scripture saith — And howsoever the Jews may despise this Gospel, because it comes not unto them with pomp and ceremony, it puts those who receive it into possession of every heavenly blessing: and this is according to the positive declarations of the prophets; for it is written, Isaiah 28:16; Isaiah 49:23 : Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. He shall neither be disappointed of his hope, nor ashamed of his confidence; because he has that faith which is the evidence of things not seen, the subsistence of things hoped for, Hebrews 11:1. Romans 1:16; Romans 1:16.
