Today's Verse - Romans 10:4 (KJV)

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

—Romans 10:4 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Christ is the fulfillment of the Law (the goal and destination of the Mosaical Law) and the end of law as the means by which we are declared righteous. We are no longer judged on the basis of our law-keeping. True, the standard used for us is the righteousness of God, but this is a standard that Jesus meets in us and for us by being the sin offering for us and sending the Spirit to empower us to be transformed. Jesus' saving work and our faith in him mean that God can declare us righteous while still transforming us as we strive to be more righteous in how we live. The Law's goal is fulfilled and finds its completion in Jesus as his saving work redeems us, and the Holy Spirit transforms us to be like our LORD (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Dear Father, I do believe that Jesus is your dear Son, sent to be my Savior, crucified for my sins, and raised from the dead for my victory. I trust my salvation to him and thank you for your incredible gift of grace. In the name of Jesus Christ, my LORD. Amen.
