Faith Pursing Righteousness
Faith Pursing Righteousness
Scripture: Romans 9:30-10:13
From Romans 9:30–10:13, we confronts one of the most subtle dangers in the Christian life: the temptation to trust religious effort, zeal, and respectable morality instead of Christ alone.
Paul shows that righteousness before God is not earned through devotion, discipline, or performance, but received by faith in the finished work of Jesus.
Pastor Zach explains the difference between outward seriousness and true submission, warns against self-made religion dressed up as spiritual maturity, and offers the deep comfort of the gospel: salvation is not far off or reserved for the strong, but near to all who believe and call on the name of the Lord. For weary sinners, proud strivers, and anxious saints alike, this sermon is a call to stop trying to justify yourself and rest in the righteousness Christ freely gives.
