Righteousness by faith

As Paul concludes Romans 9 he still wants to challenge those who think the law can save them. He categorically states that the law is for our benefit, but not our salvation. He particularly challenges Israel for their lack of faith and stuck rigidly to the law. This has been their stumbling block.

But Paul is a man who hopes in the gospel. He eagerly desires that Israel may be saved. But their salvation can only come through Jesus Christ, who is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

The challenge for God's people today is that we do not rely on ourselves and our own efforts for salvation. We are to have faith alone in Jesus Christ as our Saviour.
