Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
Yes Friends, it begins and ends with Jesus. Bruh Paul in Romans 10 is talking about the wrong mindset of Israel, their holding on to the Old Testament belief that salvation could be obtained by simply obeying the laws. In 9:32, he says, ‘…they sought it not by faith, but as it were the works of the law…’ They mistook the law itself as a path to righteousness, when it was only given to show the need for righteousness. If we were not such sinful and disobedient children, God would never have had to tell us what or what not to do, the law wouldn’t be necessary. And though Bruh Paul wanted Israel to be saved, and knew they had a great zeal for God, they were going about it the wrong way. ‘For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.’ (Rom.10:15) Now that’s the kind of stuff that rubs me wrong with Bruh Paul. Did he really expect the mostly uneducated people he wrote to, to understand his wordplay? I guess he must. Anyway, he’s saying that Israel did not understand the purpose of the law, nor it’s scope. The intent was to show the need for righteousness, only possible through belief in Christ, and it was to be made available to all who accepted God’s presence through the law, be it Jew or Gentile. Israel, in effect, figured that because they had the law of Moses and were considered God’s people, only they were entitled to salvation, which was attainable by their own religious, worldly achievement. But Bruh Paul begged to differ and claimed, ‘For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.’ Since the rulers and leaders of Israel did not accept Christ as the significant milestone He was, truly the Messiah, they were missing the one ingredient that could really lead them to salvation; faith in Jesus. He’s become the end all and be all of human existence. This is what the majority of Israel failed to understand; that Christ ushered in a new era. We still needed to live by the ten commandments, always will, because of our sinful nature, but sacrifices, both personal and communal, flagellation and all the other acts of Old Testament purification were no longer necessary, since Christ died for us and paid our sin debt in full. He was now the one we needed to look to for salvation. He’d paid the piper, so He was now entitled to call the tune. And He said works alone could not get you salvation. To get to the Father we must go through the Son; for He’s the propitiation, the atonement for our sins, also our lawyer and whatever else is necessary to connect to the Father. So Friends, if we claim to believe in the One, True God, Jehovah, then we’ve got to acknowledge Jesus and the important part He plays in us being made righteous in the eyes of the Father. He’s our guide and leader. Without Him, we’re nothing. Much LOVE!…for true believers…Jesus…is the only STAR…in our sky.
