"KINGDOM POLICIES II" DAY THIRTEEN EVENING: Evening Scripture: Romans 10:5-15 “Righteous – By Faith” Righteousness that was obtained by keeping the Law would be a result of human achievement and not by God’s grace. If one had to keep the Law perfectly to obtain righteous, then he could never know with any certainty that he was saved because he could not know how he might react to temptation at some future time. Paul’s quoting of Deuteronomy 30:14 (v.8) is an indicator that Moses never taught that a man was saved by the keeping of the Law. The purpose of the Law was to reveal man’s need for salvation-not to provide it. The words found in Romans 10:6-8 are based on what is found in Deuteronomy 30:12-14. Blessings were promised to those who were obedient to God while chastisement was promised to those who were disobedient. The same is true with the gospel. One either obeys God’s call to repentance and is blessed with salvation or disobeys God by rejecting the gospel. The latter decision would lead to damnation that could be blamed on no one but the individual. Salvation involves an inward belief (“with your heart”) and an outward confession (“with your mouth”). There was to be no distinction made between Jew and Gentile. If the Jews were going to be saved, then they were going to have to reject their self-made pursuit of righteousness and accept God’s one way of salvation. All they had to do was to call on the name of the Lord and be saved. Evening Prayer Emphasis: • Thank God for allowing you to clearly see his plan of salvation. Recognize that it is only by God’s divine grace that you have come to know Jesus and all of his wonderful blessings. Kingdom Policy Number One Hundred-Four: There is only one way to salvation for Jew and Gentile alike.
