Romans 10. The purpose of the Law is to show us what we are to be like; not make us. The end of the Law for righteousness is exactly the intent of the Author once we are brought to Christ through the Gospel. Here follow along as we look at the context. Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Israel, those who would stand with God were not standing in His power. In and with His heart and mind. They were not contending with Him against the world and all it's ways. They had a zeal, a fervantly emotional ardor intensity of God, But not according to understanding, Not according to the knowledge. The recognition which comes only from receiving the Gospel; having our hearts and minds transformed by His Spirit. A changed heart and mind; repentant, rescued, saved, delivered from the stiff necked hard heartedness that we have acquired through the deceitfulness of sin. The life of the unrepentant. 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. The righteousness of God. The straight and narrow path, that comes from the faith due to a changed heart and mind. He has placed His laws in our minds and written them in our hearts. No longer is the ministration to be from the Law written on tables of stone, but from the fleshly tables of the heart. Behold a body has He prepared, Christ, the Temple of God. Now therefore we are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom you also are built together. His Temple, the Body of Christ for an habitation, of God through the Spirit. For it is God that worketh in us both to will and do His good pleasure as Jesus said, “He doeth the work”. (Eph 2:19-22) 　 　 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. No longer an outward observance from tables of stone but an inward one from the fleshly tables of the heart. We are a new creature, the Body of Christ with new hearts and new minds: His. No longer us but Christ. We are dead crucified with Him, nevertheless we live, yet not us but Christ vicariously through us. The life we now live in the flesh we live through the Faith of Christ; for it is His heart and mind that drives us. All things now are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; The changed heart and mind that is available to us through the Gospel of God and His Christ (2 Cor 5:18) 　 Have Faith!!!! For 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 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The Word, Christ, the Law, God’s ways, His heart and mind is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that we may do it. That is, the word of faith, which we preach; and that is the Gospel. (Rom 10:1-4,6-8; Deut 30:14)
