Romans
10:6 “But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise…”
There
is a righteousness of faith. What is it? Righteousness means right standing,
therefore what I am saying is, there is a right – standing that comes of faith.
This is different than the right standing that comes of faith. This is different
than the right-standing that comes by the law.
In
Moses’ time, you obtain right-standing by what you do. But now, you obtain
right – standing in two ways:
- By
believing
- And by
speaking
And
in our text, it is telling us you don’t become right by speaking anyhow, by
asking questions. Who will do this, who will make it happen? So what do you say
to have right – standing that comes of faith?
“The
word that saves is right here, as near as the heart in your chest. It’s the
word that welcomes God to go to work and set things right for us. This is the
core of our preaching. Say the welcoming word to God – Jesus is my Master…” (
