ITS ONLY CHRIST THAT SAVES.
Romans 10:1
Brothers and sisters, my heart's desire and prayer to God on behalf of the Jewish people is that they would be saved.
Romans 10:2
I can assure you that they are deeply devoted to God, but they are misguided.
Romans 10:3
They don't understand how to receive God's approval. So they try to set up their own way to get it, and they have not accepted God's way for receiving his approval.
Romans 10:4
Christ is the fulfillment of Moses' Teachings so that everyone who has faith may receive God's approval.
Apostle Paul saw that his people, though were very devoted about God, had no idea that they weren't saved.
The Jews believed that the only way to God was through the Law of Moses and fulfilling its morals.
Jesus said "I am the Way, Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me". The Jews, though believed there is a Messiah, didn't know what the Messiah was saving them from. Hence, they rejected Christ, believing it is by fulfilling some moral works that gives you God's approval. The Jews did not know how to receive God's approval.
This is the problem with many Christians today. They don't know how to receive the Salvation God has given to them through Christ, thus, making alot of persons not to be saved and doomed for damnation.
This is not all their fault because they were not preached the right message.
Romans 10:14
But how can they call to him for help if they have not believed? And how can they believe if they have not heard the message? And how can they hear if the message is not proclaimed?
Romans 10:15
And how can the message be proclaimed if the messengers are not sent out? As the scripture says, “How wonderful is the coming of messengers who bring good news!”
Bethren, Christ is the only way. The moment you believe in Him, you will be saved. Not by fulfilling some morals but by putting your faith on the finished work of Christ.
Your works can't save you, only Christ will.
