The Book of Romans reveals how mankind continues to feel the need to “do works” to be saved.
Romans Chapter 10 overview. Paul has a great burden on his heart about the fate of his Jewish brethren. Passover is celebrated on the full moon of April. God set up the Jewish calendar based on the moon, and the Jews celebrate Passover on the first full moon of April.
vs1: Paul wishes his brethren would be saved. That is the wish of his heart. He is talking about a national salvation. At the time of this writing, Jews were being hunted down, thrown in prison, and killed. vs2: the Jews are seeking out God, but in their own way. Today there is a great religious war going on between Islam and Christianity. The Islam's have such a zeal for their God that they will kill their children, themselves, thousands of innocent people, all in a snap of finger. But they are expressing their zeal for their God in a wrong way. This is what Paul is saying about his people. They were going about searching for the truth of God in the wrong way, and Paul wanted to cut them off. vs3: they twisted God's word to a point that it was no longer true what they were teaching. They set up their own religion based on what they wanted, not what was written by God based partially on truth and mostly on false doctrine. vs4: Paul wants them to understand one thing: they set up their own righteousness, twisted God's word, and then rejected their own savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the end of the law, the law has been competed, and the law has nothing to do with us anymore. This is the old law of sacrifices and such. vs5: if you are going to live under the law, you will be judged..
