Jesus Is The Only Way by proffmykey(m): 4:59pm On Jun 04, 2022 |
Jesus is the only way. Romans 10 vs 2-3 KJV:For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 KJV: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. Many people today say that it doesn’t matter what you believe, as long as you believe something. They teach that there are many ways to God. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, or Christian, in the end they all come together. Wrong! This mindset is in direct opposition to what Romans 10:2 is saying. These religious people had a zeal for God—not just zeal, but zeal for God. However, it wasn’t according to knowledge. Therefore, it wasn’t a saving knowledge. They were sincere, but sincerely wrong. They believed the wrong thing. Types of Righteousness There are two different types of righteousness: God’s righteousness Self-righteousness We obtain self-righteousness by trusting in our own actions. We receive God’s righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ. (Eph. 2:8-9.) So out of the two ways to righteousness, only one is correct. The only righteousness that will put us in right standing and relationship with God is the righteousness of God that is given to us as a free, unearned gift. Most people are seeking after a righteousness that comes based on their own works and performance. This is what Paul was saying about these Pharisees in Romans 10:3. Sad to say, there are still many people today who are ignorant of God’s righteousness. When you use the word righteousness, most people think about their own actions. They think about their own performance. If someone were to stand up in church and declare, “I’m righteous,” they’d be criticized and reminded of things they’d done wrong. Most believers wouldn’t think of their born-again spirit that has had God’s righteousness imputed. They’d be looking on externals. Our self-righteousness is like a filthy, soiled rag. (Is. 64:6.) God’s righteousness is infinitely more and our self-righteousness is infinitely less. The Jews were ignorant of God’s righteousness, and so are most religious people today. They don’t understand that we are made righteous the moment we place our faith in Jesus Christ. We don’t become righteous gradually as we improve our actions. We’re born again righteous—it’s a gift! #copied #andrewommack Jesus is the only way to have right standing with God. |
