We All Need Jesus’ Salvation (Romans 10: 1-10)

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 
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) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” 
(that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 
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): 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. 
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:1-10)

Paul sees the Jews’ zeal is not based in truth. 
If they had merely been ignorant in their rejection of Christ. 
They knew Christ but they were bent in establishing their own righteousness, rather than submitting to the righteousness of God. 
They trusted in themselves and their works and rejected the way of faith when it was presented to them. 
Christ has been always been the way of salvation in both Testaments. 
The law prepared people for Him, while His coming was the end of the law and fulfillment of God’s righteousness. 
The way of the law and the way of faith are contrasted. 
Whereas mere obedience to the law has always failed, but faith in Christ brings salvation. 
Faith does not doubt, but trusts in Christ. 
Faith makes God near to the believer. 
Faith transforms the whole person, heart, soul, mind, and body. 
This confession and belief are more than simply mental acknowledgement that something is true. 
Rather, this belief refers to placing one’s whole trust in the resurrected Christ and living with Jesus as one’s Lord. 
Only the giving of the whole self to Christ is belief into righteousness. 
Amen.
