JESUS is
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
and
OUR FAITH!
Romans 9:30-33
Israel’s
Unbelief
30 "What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS, have obtained it, a RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT IS BY FAITH;
31 but the people of
Israel, who pursued the law as the way of RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not attained
their goal.
32 Why not?
Because they pursued it not by FAITH but as if it were by works. They stumbled
over the stumbling stone.
33 As
it is written:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in HIM will never be put to shame.”
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in HIM will never be put to shame.”
