True Understanding
Do you have a true understanding of the gospel?
Do you have a true salvation in Christ?
When looking at the history of the Israelites, they made a lot of mistakes.
The biggest was how they thought they had the answer to salvation.
Israelites were so focused on their own plan, they tripped over the direct instructions given.
A familiar epedimic is the distraction of phones in our culture.
Something that can be used for instruction and direction, has become an opportunity for distraction and accidents.
What are you willing to give up for someone to hear the gospel?
Teens
Paul was willing to show that desire.
Adults
His way of living, his outlook on life, how he dealt with situations, and how far he was willing to go for others to truly know Jesus.
Romans 10:
Matter of fact, Paul was willing to show that desire.
And as funny as this is, to us who are evil, the part that isn’t funny is how humanity can take something that is good, and turn it against the original intent.
And that’s what Israel did with the Law.
They thought they could work their way to be right with God.
But they couldn’t, and we can’t either.
Jesus came as the fulfillment of the law.
gave directions but became a distraction and the purpose became a problem - a stumbling stone.
Righteousness is not attainable through works.
And Paul shows us this:
V.1Paul mentions his passion for Israel.
You’ll note that his passion sparked prayer in his heart.
Paul desired that Israel would wake up to their need for Jesus and be saved, and he prayed for them.
Do you have that kind of desire?
Do you earnestly pray for people to respond to salvation?
Paul again mentions his passion for Israel.
You’ll note that his passion sparked prayer in his heart.
Paul desired that Israel would wake up to their need for Jesus and be saved, and he prayed for them.And Paul continues in v. 2 and makes mention of their zeal.
Jews were zealous for God.
They were fervent in their pursuit of rituals and ceremonies and against anything that was contrary to their doctrine.
But their zeal, their passion, was not enough.
Zeal must be combined with truth, or it can do more harm than good.
And in v. 3 we see that in clinging to their own way of getting right with God, they did not submit to God at all.
These Jews were zealous.
They were passionate.
They were committed to what they thought was right.
They bettered themselves according to their own moral code.
They pursued God as they thought they should.
And in the midst of all the works and the zeal, they missed the entire point and eventually elevated their own views above the vantage point of God.
You see, friend, a right standing with God is not attained through good works or through passionate zeal.
And Israel is a great example of this.
However, Paul continues and writes that:3.
Righteousness is given to those who have faith in Jesus.
(10:5-13)Romans 10:5–8 NKJV5 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):vv.
5-7 are a bit obscure, but Paul is emphasizing the accessibilty of righteousness.
