Stumbling Stones – Romans 9:30-10:2
Stumbling Stones – Romans 9:30–10:2
They pursued it not by faith…stumbled over the stumbling stone
Paul’s theme is righteousness – God’s gift received by faith
Righteousness pursued – barriers to belief:
- Good deeds (law) Rom. 9:30-32; Gal. 3:10-14
Israel pursued a law of righteousness…by works
- Good name (reputation) Rom. 9:32-33 & Isaiah 8:11-17
For Israel he will be a stone that causes men to stumble
- Good pursuits (zeal) Rom. 10:1-2 & Phil. 3:4-8
Their zeal is not based on knowledge
God’s Way: the righteous will live by faith
Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; 3:22 (believe)
