Romans 10:3-9 — "The End of the Law"

Welcome to New Life Church! This insert to your worship service program is intended to help you follow along with the message (sermon) you will hear today.

The section of the Bible to be discussed in the message is a portion of a letter of the apostle Paul. He was an early Church leader, and his letter was to Christians living in what was probably the greatest city on Earth at the time, a city which endures to this day: Rome

In the letter, Paul gives instruction about some basic Christian (Biblical) truths: about God Who is dazzlingly pure and humanity which is guilty and corrupt, and how mankind can be saved — that is, only by Jesus Christ, Who came to accomplish that salvation! 

Here is the Bible passage and a rough outline for the contents of the message based upon it:

♦   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.   ♦
