HEAR Journaling Romans Chapter 9
Highlight - Romans 9:30-33 New Living Translation
30 What does all this mean? Even though the Gentiles were not trying to follow God’s standards, they were made right with God. And it was by faith that this took place. 31 But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded. 32 Why not? Because they were trying to get right with God by keeping the law[o] instead of by trusting in him. They stumbled over the great rock in their path. 33 God warned them of this in the Scriptures when he said,
“I am placing a stone in Jerusalem[p] that makes people stumble,
a rock that makes them fall.
But anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”[q]
Explain - Paul explains that Gentiles found Jesus Christ as savior through faith, but Jews were failing to find God, because of their focus on the law rather than putting their faith in Him. Struggling to keep the law will never save, only the grace of Jesus Christ through faith.
Apply - We too must not struggle with sin in our own power, but submit to the Lord Jesus Christ through faith, then abide with Him as He abides with us and follow His leading as He will never lead us to sin, but only to fruitful lives in Him.
Respond - Lord, help me remember not to struggle with sin in my own power, but to submit to You every moment of every day through faith. I will strive to abide with You as You abide with me. I will strive to follow Your leading as I know You will never lead me to sin, but only to a fruitful life in You.
