The Foundation of Faith 5

Sep 8, 2024

In this teaching on Romans 10:1-6, we dive deep into Paul's discussion about Israel's zeal for God and its misdirection. Though they possessed a fervent desire to follow God's will, their zeal was misguided due to a lack of true knowledge. Paul highlights how their dedication to the law, traditions, and self-righteousness blinded them to God's way of righteousness through Christ.

In verses 2-3, we explore the nature of their zeal—sincere yet fanatic, passionate yet misinformed. They prided themselves in their religious devotion but failed to understand God's provision for righteousness. As we read through verses 4-5, we unpack how Christ is the culmination of the law, fulfilling what the law could not achieve, making righteousness available to all who believe.
