Wrong Zeal/Romans 10:1-15
The Apostle Paul had an incomprehensible sorrow and suffering for his people Israel.
“I tell the truth in Christ and do not lie.
My conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit that there is an inexhaustible torment” (Romans).
9:1)
The Apostle Paul's suffering was due to the zeal for the God of his people Israel. in general
In any religion, they force their followers to be zealous. I made a diligent offering, prayed determinedly, and went
They demand you to be more devoted to your religion than to your passion or work. and that religion demands
We demand strict adherence to the rules.
But the Apostle Paul said that he felt sorrow and pain about his fellow Israelis being too zealous.
I did. Israel's zeal for the God they believe in is something that members of any denomination will follow.

Perhaps the members of a certain church in our country are 'zealous' like Jews who believe in Judaism in their religious life.
When this is known, it will go up and down a lot in the media as a model church. which species in general
In sect religion, the external measure of the revival or decline of one's sect is 'zeal'. So the religious leaders
This concern is about how to make believers passionate.
I am also thinking about making it.
But the question Paul raises is what his zeal is about. Paul's own people
Their worries and sufferings are that their zeal is trying to establish “own righteousness” rather than “God’s righteousness”.
There is. There was a time in the past when Paul himself was very zealous to establish 'self-righteousness'.
All. His zeal pursued Christians who were scattered from Jerusalem to various places due to persecution of Christians.
He was almost fanatical enough to take the lead in catching and imprisoning them.
The difference between 'self-righteousness' and 'God's righteousness' spoken of by the Apostle Paul is that they superficially aim for salvation.
There are no dots. However, there is a fundamental difference in their motives.
First, 'self-righteousness' means that a person tries to solve the problem of his own salvation by accumulating his religious virtues.
is a kind of self-centered way of salvation. The more people walking on this path of salvation, the more religious they are.
Strictly follow enemy rules. It is inevitable that we must achieve salvation through it.
because of. But there is no joy, no love, no freedom in such a religious life.
In a certain way, the more zealous the person who tries to solve the problem of their own salvation with 'self-righteousness', the more diligent.
I did. However, the ultimate problem of salvation can be solved with human wisdom and power.
is it? I can't help but ask a question.
Next, 'God's righteousness' is fundamentally different from 'self-righteousness'. This is how God made man
It is the way of salvation that has been prepared for you. Humans are born into the world and live satisfied with only bread.
You can die. Otherwise, for those who think about their problems to some extent, they will
You can devote your passion to realization. A more religious person is more concerned with the matter of his soul.
They may be interested and eager to develop religious practices.
However, the problem of man's ultimate salvation revealed in 'God's righteousness' is the
In response to the question of how to reconcile with God and live in communion with God
That's the answer.
God did not create humans to be content with bread alone. yes god
He did not make us live without self-realization as our ultimate goal. of course his spirit
The soul alone was not sent into the world to engage in religious virtues in order to be saved. God
created man as a partner in his creation, an object of dialogue with him. man's true self
The realization of the spirit, the salvation of the soul, is in reconciliation with God. The way of reconciliation lies in 'God's righteousness'
This is the way of salvation that has been revealed.
By sending Christ into the world, God can provide this way of salvation that cannot be achieved on the part of man.
you have done it The Apostle Paul said that God accomplished the way of salvation through Christ.
It is said that “Christ was the end of the law” (4).
God has accomplished what man cannot do through Christ. God's righteousness
No human virtues or sacrifices are required, but faith is required. Accept what God has done
and you have to believe it. To do so is to honor God. In 'God's Righteousness'
Human righteousness is an act of unbelief.

I don't ask for it.
The Apostle Paul said in the Old Testament words of Deuteronomy that man's salvation is not controlled by man.
I am quoting the writing.
“If you say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend to heaven?
to get down, or who will go down into the abyss, say no, will you go down?
It is to raise Christ from the dead.” (6-7)
What the Apostle Paul is trying to say here is that we, as humans, bring Christ into the world, or

He who calls on his name will be saved. That salvation encompasses both self-realization and soul salvation.

eager for The true meaning and purpose of the Reformation is not human righteousness, but only the grace of God.
Hye, only the word of God, faith alone that puts the 'righteousness of God' in its original place again
This is a corrective exercise.
Even among non-Jewish Christian beliefs, there is a reason to settle for 'self' rather than 'God's righteousness'.
A hump follows. In the past Christian history, it is not God's grace, but human righteousness.
There were dark times where we struggled and lived. Even in our time today, our fight
