Hello my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset. If you are new to the morning

mindset, welcome. I'm so glad you're here. My name is Carrie Green. I invite you to

join us every day as we walk through the scriptures in an

effort to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. We've been doing so by looking

at the book of Romans.

We are in chapter number 10, beginning in verse 14 today.

Don't worry if you haven't been with us for the entire journey.

We can pick up right here and move you right into the understanding of what we're doing.

Now Romans chapter 10, versus 14 through 18, is where we're going to focus today.

Paul has been speaking about the place that the Jewish people have in God's plan and he

is saying that many of them have missed the boat so to speak when it comes to faith

because they pursued a righteousness

that comes about by obeying the law. But there's a problem there. You can't really obey the law of God

because it's too big. There's too much to it and no

human being can pull it off. And so what's the answer? Well Paul has made the point very

powerfully that Jesus Christ is God's answer to that dilemma. Jesus

Christ came and he fulfilled the law. He lifted it out perfectly and he died on

the cross to pay the penalty for our sin because you see there's

not just the issue of the fact that we can't keep the law. There's the issue of the fact

that we can't keep the law means we are sinners and our sin is offensive to the holy God.

And so Jesus took our place.

And Paul's point is that those who believe in Jesus Christ can have their sins forgiven.
