Topic: OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS BY FAITH .

Key Sculpture. Romans 10: 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth

Text: ( Roman 10: 1- 10)

Romans 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. 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. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

INTRODUCTION
There is no other way to have a right relationship with God apart from the relationship he had established for man in Christ. That is why it is only in Christ that any man can be a new Creation.
Why it is so is that God made Jesus Christ our substitute for sin so that we become one with Him in Christ
This means that anyone who believes in Christ has accepted God standard of righteousness by faith and not by the works of the Jewish laws.
We do the works of righteousness after we have believed not the works for righteousness neither is it the works on our righteousness.
If anyone goes on to establish any other form of relationships with God aside from faith in Christ that person is establishing his on righteousness whiich is no righteousness .
The righteousness of God in Christ is received through faith and not by work.

👉Verse 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
It appears so simply to man because Christ paid the price for us.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
This is grace. Many who do not believe God enough for what Christ had done also go about establishing their own righteousness by adding rules that men have to obey according to Jewish laws to be made righteous but i can say emphatically that it is nothing but ignorance.

👉Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
👉 Romans 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,


Lessons
• We become the righteousness of God when we believe in Christ because Christ was made sin for us
• The laws of Moses has been fulfilled so that the righteousness of God will be through faith in Christ.
• Our self righteousness is no righteousness without faith in Christ.
Prayers
1. Lor thank you for making your righteousness in Christ.
2. Thank you because I am righteous not because of what i do but because of what Christ did for me.
3. Holy Spirit help me to do the works of righteousness by winning souls

WE ARE ABLE MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ( 2Cor 3: 3-6)  3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.  4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:  5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God  6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament ; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life We should function according to our description. We should give life not condemnation

                         YOU DO NOT BECOME A SAINT BECAUSE OF WORKS Many times believers have called those who teach the truth about benefits of Christ death, burial and resurrection as those who teach the diluted Gospel but in actuality, they are those teaching the undiluted Gospel. The Gospel is not the mind of men. It does not have to appear pleasing to any man’s hearing to be the truth. Christ came into this world to take away the sin of the world. And he did it by offering His body for sin to die in the flesh. John 1: 29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. GAL 1: 4 WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD AND OUR FATHER. HEB 2: 17 WHEREFORE IN ALL THINGS IT BEHOVED HIM TO BE MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRE...

A BELIEVR IS THE TRUE IDENTIY OF GOD. God was invisible until Christ manifested in the flesh so that man could see God in the flesh and relate with Him the way He truly is. God is not anything outside love.( John 15: 12-27) Christ was the physical manifestation of the spiritually real God John 4:24 GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. In the Old Testament the prophets walked with God because they could only relate with God based on the shadows of things to come. This is the reason no believer would ever like to be like Elijah or Moses. Those men never had the accurate nature on God. But the believer do not only walk with God , the believer walks in God. John 1: 18 NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: Romans 12:5 So w...
