Wednesday, July 31, 2024 Romans 9:30 – Romans 10:4 “Self-Righteousness or Christ’s? Part 2”

The wonder of the Gospel actually created a stumbling block for Jews (and all religious people). The Jews believed they could “establish their own righteousness” and earn their salvation before God based upon a sincere effort to try to live a good life and go through the proper religious ceremonies (also believed by all religious people). They rejected the idea that their sin required nothing less than the perfect righteousness of Christ being credited to them by faith in order to be saved. The other option is to accept our sin and hopeless lostness, and decide to rest in the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ, credited to the life of all who repent and believe in the Gospel! Which option best describes your life?
