Today’s Thought “Exclusivity Realized” G. Ward

Romans 10

² For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. ³ For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

Whereas Holy God initially called Israel HIS own (Isa. 49:6), to ultimately promote HIS deliverance for our sinfulness - making it abundantly clear - via their faithfulness to HIS commands, they’d fail (Ro.3:10, 23). There was ONE however, deriving from that lineage, who’d complete this challenge (*cf. Heb. 4:15), to then offer HIMSELF as the Ultimate, sacrificial, unblemished Lamb of God (our Great Savior Jesus – Eph.1:7).

When/if we fail to recognize our deeds as never good enough against all provided by the Only Good ONE (Mark 10:18), we objectively don’t know HIM.
