Romans 10

“Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes” (4). Paul reminds us that access to “righteousness” is not gained by effort nor “zeal,” but rather comes by surrendering to Jesus, who fulfills the law for us (4). Salvation is not something far away but is “near you” (8), and it is available to “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord” (13).

When we sincerely “believe in the heart” and confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, God accepts us (9). Jesus’ righteousness continues to uphold us; his grace does not run out. We are called to share this great news with the world (15).
