1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
What does establishing our own righteousness mean?
Why do you think Man tries to earn Righteousness?
23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.
Tend vs. work
Guard keep or protect what God has given you
Dig and labor
After the fall of Adam he went to reaping and plowing
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Jesus is the end to righteousness
You can’t get anymore righteous than you are when you make Jesus Lord
What keeps us from believing that in our lives?
Sin conciseness, doubt, unbelief, wrong thinking
Correct thinking creates correct behavior
NOT the other way around
There is no life change without a thought change
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
What are you doing to change your thoughts TODAY?
Correct speaking counters negative thoughts
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
-We have to be near the word
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We speak it
We sow it into our heart as belief
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The earth was conceived and started with God’s word
Our rebirth and new life starts with our Word
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
Who told you about Jesus?
Why do we delegate that job for other people to do in the lives of people around us?
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:
“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,
And their words to the ends of the world.”
