christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth, and then he begins to start quoting from moses. i believe that this is from leviticus, chapter 18, verse 5 and moses it says described the righteousness which is of the law, that the man which doeth those things shall live by them. in other words, if you want to start trying to earn right standing with god it's an all or nothing thing. you can't just do the best you can and say well god, i did the best i can. will you accept me? you either have to make 100 on this test, or if you make 99.9, you failed. you...you missed. you go to hell. i've used this verse many times... james 2:10. if you keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, you become guilty of all. if you are going to submit to the law, moses described what it took under the law. you had to do it perfectly and of course nobody could, so the law, even though it dangled salvation and said if you will do this and this and this and this and this, god will accept you. it...it was impossible for anybody to ever fulfill that so the law really wasn't for y

for christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." boy, there are some awesome truths that he's presenting right here. one of the things is, paul is showing that there are two types of righteousness. he says, they being ignorant of god's righteousness. god's righteousness is perfect, it's holy, it's not a comparative righteousness. religion... anytime religion starts preaching that you've got to be holy, you've got to do this, this and this, and unless you live right, god won't bless you, god won't love you, god won't answer your prayers... anytimes they start preaching a law of righteousness, they have to make it a comparative thing because all of us have sinned, and come short of the glory of god, romans 3:23 says that. every person who has ever breathed on this planet has sinned, and not only sinned in the past, but we still continue to sin because sin is not only the transgression of a direct command, but sin is when we know to do good and don't do it, to him that is sin. the scripture says that just as plainly. so, sin is not onl

in verse 11 it says, "for the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." in verse 12 "for there is no difference between the jew and the greek: for the same lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. for whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved." notice he didn't say whosoever will promise that you'll never sin again... that will promise that you're going to change... that you'll never do this... whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord, and it's implied in this context, in faith enough that you're willing to confess it with your mouth, you shall be saved. you know, i'm convinced that there's people watching this program all around the world... we have access to 3.2 billion people through all of the television networks that we have. i know that not all of those people watch it, but if you just took a fraction of that... if you only took 10%! i don't know what percent actually watch, but if you say 10%, that's 320 million. if it was one percent, that's 32 million people and i can guarantee you, out of all of those people,

says, "as it is written, behold, i lay in sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." so, paul gave these prophecies, showing that in the old testament it predicted that the jews, as a whole, would reject their messiah, and therefore, salvation would turn to the gentiles, and he says, so, what am i saying? he says, the gentiles which weren't following after righteousness... in other words, they weren't trying to keep all of the jewish feasts, they weren't circumcising their children, they weren't observing all of the rituals and the laws, they didn't observe the ten commandments, none of these things. these pagans came along and they started receiving right relationship with god, not based on their performance and adherence to the law, but instead they received right standing with god by just simply putting faith in jesus as having paid for their sins and...and relationship with god being available as a gift, and boy, this was super offensive to the religious jews because again, they believed in their nationality. they believed in their ad

for christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." again, there is so much in these verses. i am just picking and choosing. i'm not saying everything that's here, but i made this point yesterday that just a person being sincere and saying well, i'm seeking god and i believe that that's enough. it's not enough! paul is acknowledging that there are people who have a zeal for god. this isn't just a knowledge of god, but they actually have a zeal for god, and they are wanting right standing with god, but they are mistaken in thinking that they can earn it based on their performance and he's saying that's insufficient. to be sincere is... is not enough. you could drink poison thinking it's water and you could be totally sincere, but you will be sincerely dead. you have to do things the way that it's prescribed and god revealed himself and god is the one that set up the method of salvation. and did you realize this that christianity is the only religion on the face of the earth that has a savior? there isn't the concept of a savior in any o
