Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Praise God, to embrace Jesus as Savior is to be clothed in “His righteousness”: (Php_3:9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” Someday Israel was whole will turn back and embrace Jesus: (Jer_33:16) “In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.”
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE TEACHING: Life of Christ, “Three Days”
In this study we explore the three hours from the point of the Lord’s death until 6 P.M., the beginning of the next day. We seek to understand exactly how long Jesus was in the grave. Also we seek to answer the question, “Where was the Lord Jesus’ soul during those three days?”

(Rom 10:2) “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. (3) For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” The righteousness of God is perfect. That is the standard to earn everlasting life. The law was to reveal this; this is why He gave them the law of sacrifice. Just as those with conscience towards God looked by faith to the sacrifice, the saved look by faith to the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. This is where the nation of the Jews failed.

(Rom 10:1) “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. (2) For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.” To this very day people, saved and unsaved alike, confuse zeal for God evidence of salvation. A person can be sincerely wrong. Salvation is an experience that takes a time and a place. One truly sees what Jesus did for them, turns in heart from their sinful life asking God for mercy, and He responds giving the gift of everlasting life
A Dispensational Look at Salvation
This book addresses a topic rarely addressed. In fact, the writer knows of no other book specifically on this subject. Were people in the Old Testament “born again”? How were they saved and what was their faith in? What is a “covenant”? Is it important that we understand the covenants made by God in the Old Testament? Do they affect us at all? The writer believes one cannot understand nor appreciate what the Lord Jesus did on the cross and the salvation received as a result, unless one understands these truths.

Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. (32) Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; (33) As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” When it speaks here of not being ashamed, it is not referring to an individual not being ashamed of being a follower of the Lord Jesus. It is saying, “Everything you have embraced by trusting the Word of God shall be fulfilled”: (2Ti_1:12) “For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”

For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; (33) As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” Specifically the stumblingstone is righteousness comes by faith in Jesus’ work on the cross and His resurrection instead of one’s own efforts. The standard for heaven is perfect righteousness which only the Lord Jesus possesses.

(Rom 9:30) “What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.” Important to remember – faith is not righteousness. Christ’s righteousness is given to the person who responds rightly to the gospel, repenting, asking for the forgiveness and everlasting life (Rom 3).
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE TEACHING: Sunday School Live, Romans Lesson 4
This study finds us teaching a subject little held to in our day and time, yet vital for the Believer to both believe and understand. It is well worth one’s time to discover.

(Rom 9:28) “For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. (29) And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.” The word “short” here is speaks of acting quickly. The word “work” is referring to the things He has said in prophecy. The Lord faithfully fulfills ever Word He has said. Praise Him, for that work has been upon the saved, vessels of mercy.
