The Righteousness of Faith (Romans 10)
1. Zeal Without Truth Misses God
(Rom 10:1–3)
- Zeal for God can still be misguided without true knowledge
- Refusing to submit to God’s righteousness is the core issue
- Pride drives us to establish our own righteousness
2. Christ Ends All Self-Made Righteousness
(Rom 10:4–8)
- Christ is the end and fulfillment of the law
- Righteousness by faith does not strive—it receives
- The word is near: nothing more needs to be achieved
3. Faith Is Heart and Mouth
(Rom 10:9–10)
- True faith is inward belief and outward confession
- Confession expresses real allegiance to Jesus as Lord
- Faith in Christ rests on His death and resurrection
4. One Lord for All People
(Rom 10:11–13)
- There is no distinction in access to salvation
- The same Lord responds to all who call on Him
- Everyone who calls on the Lord will be saved
5. Faith Comes Through Hearing
(Rom 10:14–17)
- People cannot believe without hearing the message
- God uses human messengers to proclaim the gospel
- Faith is grounded in the message about Christ
6. God Reaches Out—People Still Resist
(Rom 10:18–21)
- God reveals Himself even to those not seeking Him
- He patiently holds out His hands to His people
- Rejection flows from a resistant and unwilling heart
Reflection Questions
- Where am I still trying to “earn” what Christ has already given?
(In what situations do I slip into performance instead of resting in Him?)
- What does “Jesus is Lord” challenge most in my current life?
(Which area competes for control, security, or identity?)
- Do I treat my faith as something private—or does it find expression outwardly?
(Where is God prompting me to speak or live more openly?)
- Who has God placed in my life to hear the gospel from me—and am I praying for them?
(Where can I be intentional in both prayer and relationship?)
