Romans 10:9-13

With the Heart Man Believes unto Righteousness

 

Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:4-8 "Christ and the Law" - 6/20/2019

Romans 10:4-10

 

Romans 10:4-10

The Word of Faith

 Rom 10:4  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

    Rom 10:5  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

    Rom 10:6  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

   Rom 10:7  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

   Rom 10:8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

 

1. Salvation is not Found in Morality and Self-Improvement – vs. 4-5
1. No amount of morality will create lasting change in your life. Morality may fix things for a time with a tremendous amount of self-effort, but in the end, you will be left with only bitterness and resentment.

                                                              i.      In Christ we are given a new desire to live a life of righteousness – vs. 4

1.      Romans 7:4-6 

2.      Romans 8:1-4 

                                                            ii.      In Christ we are given a new identity of righteousness – vs. 5

1.      2 Corinthians 5:21 

2.      1 Corinthians 1:30 

2. Salvation is not Found in a Spiritual Journey or Experience – vs. 6-7
1. Many seek a way to God through a mystical experience outside of the truth of God’s Word. All of this is false religion.

                                                              i.      Even if you had the ability to travel into the heavens you could not earn your salvation – vs. 6

1.      Proverbs 30:4-5 

                                                            ii.      Even if you had the ability to travel into the depths of the earth you could not earn your salvation – vs. 7

1.      Job 38:1-6 

3. Salvation Comes Through the Written Revelation of God: The Word – vs. 8
1. Salvation is found in the pure word of God because it reveals to us the nature of man and his need for redemption. This need is so great that no power on earth can save him, only God Himself can.

                                                              i.      Deuteronomy 30:11-15 

                                                            ii.      Hebrews 1:1-3

Romans 10:1-3

 

Romans 10:1-3

Paul’s Prayer for Israel

 

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. 

     1.      Paul’s Passion

a.       The Apostle Paul longs for the salvation of Israel

                                                              i.      Do you have a zeal to win the lost for Christ?

1.      If we long to reach the lost for Christ, are we willing to use the methods that God ordains to accomplish His work? Here are 5 scriptural methods that God uses to reach the unsaved.

a.       Prayer

                                                                                                                                      i.      Matthew 9:37-38 

b.      Preaching

                                                                                                                                      i.      1 Corinthians 1:18 

c.       Personal witnessing

                                                                                                                                      i.      Acts 1:8 

d.      Godly living

                                                                                                                                      i.      1 John 2:5-6 

e.       Love – “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care” – Steven Lawson

                                                                                                                                      i.      John 13:34-35 

b.      The Apostle Paul prays for the salvation of Israel

                                                              i.      Why the first step to evangelism always prayer?

1.      Because God commands that we pray for the lost

a.       1 Timothy 2:1-4 

2.      Because God as the author of salvation has also appointed the means to our salvation and that is prayer. If this were not true, there would be no reason to pray for the unsaved.

a.       1 John 5:13-16 

           2.      Israel’s Passion

a.       Paul can testify that Israel has a tremendous zeal for the things of God

                                                              i.      Romans 9:31 

b.      Paul can also testify that Israel’s zeal does not have a basis in proper knowledge

                                                              i.      Unfortunately, zeal alone is not what get some one to heaven. In fact, passion misdirected can be very harmful. Our zeal must come from a rich knowledge of the word of God.

1.      Acts 7:51-54 

         3.      Israel’s Problem

a.       Israel ignorantly attempted to try to establish their righteousness in their own strength. Instead of seeking the righteousness of Christ they became satisfy with their own, being unaware of the true holiness of God. We must take care that we do not fall into that trap as well.

                                                              i.      Philippians 3:7-10

Romans 9:30-33

Romans 9:30-33

Whosoever Believeth in Him Shall Not Be Ashamed

Rom 9:30  What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 

Rom 9:31  But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 

Rom 9:32  Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 

Rom 9:33  As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 

       1.      How Wonderful it is that the Heathen have been Given Righteousness! – vs. 30

a.       The Gentiles who have not pursued righteousness have been given righteousness because of the mercy of God.

                                                              i.      Romans 4:11-16 

b.      The gift of righteousness to the Gentiles is proof of God’s mercy and forgiveness. It proves beyond a shadow of doubt that salvation is by faith alone.

                                                              i.      Romans 5:6-11 

       2.      Israel Pursued Morality and Ended Up Without it. – vs. 31

a.       A pursuit of holiness apart from Christ is a futile affair. Man is completely unable to reform himself. Israel’s self-righteousness became their downfall.

                                                              i.      Paul talks about this in Romans chapter 7

1.      Romans 7:7-9 

                                                            ii.      His desire to self-reform drives him to this frustration at the end of the chapter.

1.      Romans 7:24 

                                                          iii.      The answer to this frustration is given in the beginning of Romans chapter 8

1.      Romans 8:1-4 

        3.      Because Israel Attempted to Self-Reform Apart from Christ, They Became Offended by the                 Message of the Gospel. – vs. 32

a.       Israel rejected salvation by faith alone

                                                              i.      1 Corinthians 1:21-25 

b.      Because of Israel’s rejection of salvation by faith alone they rejected the Rock of their Salvation and the true cure to their sin nature.

                                                              i.      Acts 4:10-12 

        4.      The Rejection of the Gospel by Israel is Predicted in the Old Testament. – vs. 33

a.       Isaiah 8:14 

b.      Psalm 118:22-26
