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.
Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness.
Remember we talked
about there being many laws? The people Israel, God's chosen were used to a lot
of ceremonial laws, their lives revolved around these laws. Their way to God as
through these laws and they knew nothing else. They didn't want their ceremonies
taken away, they didn't want their way to God taken from them and they were too
spiritually blind to take the leap of faith necessary to believe that Jesus
Christ was in fact the way to God the Father. Christ as their sacrifice,
Christ, the Son of God the Father, His death was the ULTIMATE sacrifice.
Instead of placing their faith in the death of an animal upon which they'd
place their sins through the rituals of the Priests, they were being told
they'd have to place their faith on the death of God's only begotten Son, Jesus
Christ. They were being told the Priests were no longer necessary to go between
them and God, Jesus would stand before God for them and they had to believe
this! Faith in Christ as their righteousness.
Today we need to do
the same, we need to place our faith in Christ and no other.
Our lives are
dependent upon our Savior's love, His grace, His mercy.
Christ is my
righteousness.
Christ is your
righteousness.
Christ Jesus our
Lord He is our law and IN Him, THROUGH Him, the law is kept perfectly.
Believing.
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is
the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Believing.
Faith.
We believe- Help Our
Unbelief! -- My prayer!
