We love making salvation complicated. Work harder. Be better. Get religious. Clean yourself up. Impress God. Paul dismantles the whole exhausting system in Romans 10:5-21. You don't have to climb into heaven, perform a spiritual obstacle course, or build a resume impressive enough for God.

Romans 9:30-10:4

You can be sincere, passionate, religious, disciplined, and absolutely headed the wrong way. Paul explains how Israel pursued righteousness so aggressively that they stumbled right over the One who actually provides it.

In this episode, we unpack the danger of trying to impress God with our spiritual resume, why zeal without truth can be dangerous, and what Paul means when he says Christ is "the end of the law for righteousness." Maybe the gospel isn't about trying harder. Maybe it's about finally admitting that Jesus already did what you couldn't.

GET CHAD's NEW HIT SINGLE "Never Forget" HERE: https://linktr.ee/ram911

Romans 9:1-29 takes us into one of the deepest and most challenging passages in Scripture. Paul wrestles with Israel's unbelief, God's promises, election, Pharaoh, the Potter and the clay, and the uncomfortable truth that God is sovereign and we are not.

Why does God choose? Is God unfair? If God is sovereign, are we still responsible? And what happens when God's plan doesn't make sense from where we're standing?
